Language helps us understand and define what we value and who we are.

[I speak 5 languages and I’m certain there are more lingering inside me.]

Choose language and models that celebrate you.

Language points to values. It speaks to not only what we speak about, but also how we talk about it and what’s commonly regarded as interesting, important or even irrelevant.

Each language to me is a new model or way of looking at the world. Each language carries the commonality of being human and otherworldly. What this tells me is that not only are there multiple models to express your self, but that there is no one right way for expression.

So if you can speak or choose to speak hundreds of languages, then you can also choose to speak and choose to see the world through hundreds of different eyes.

And when you whittle it down to the very essence, there’s a common truth among them all.

I encourage and implore you to choose the common language to all humans which I believe is that of the heart.

Let that be the model that drives who you are, how you define yourself, and how you move in the world.

Why is this relevant to your brand, your voice and your message? Because who you are and who you lead are often one in the same. Speak the truth and you are closer to the truth. Lead with integrity and invite others to be whole, too.
