Casting a Clear Vision: Words Mean Things

We live in a fast paced world that’s ever changing, more stressful, and incredibly demanding.  We’re more connected than ever through social media platforms, yet communication is arguably harder than ever. Why? Because “words mean things” and most of us are often still mediocre communicators at best.  If we can’t communicate a clear vision with a clear purpose and use words that have a clear defined meaning, our results are always going to be less than desirable.  “Words mean things” whether you’re a corporate CEO in the boardroom, a 4 star general on the battlefield, or a campaign chairman leading volunteers in the community.
