Perhaps the most revealing script.

There is a Public Service Announcement encouraging parents to learn how their children learn.  It is a riveting message considering the use of "(K)notty Words".  Take a look at the metamorphosis of this message and see the destructive power of using a "(K)not" in the message.

 

We need to start doing something about the disempowering messages we are teaching our children.

The time is now to take action.

Author, International Keynote Speaker and Chief Paradigm Shifter, Bob Nicoll is focused on this task.  He is going to be unveiling a project that can help make the shift from disempowering word choice to using empowering words.  The results are significantly measurable in terms of more precise and accurate communication.

Remember the Ice is bringing this new program to the public in the next 30 days.

An example of Articulation Proofing

Here is the background on Articulation Proofing.  In word choice it comes down to some minor details.  Have a look:

"(K)notty Words" are seemingly 'everywhere'.

Take a look around.  Television.  Billboards.  Magazines.  Road signs.  eMails.  Listen to the radio.  Talk shows.  Advertisements.  There are "(K)notty Words" in all of them.  Here are some examples of ones you might see in your regular daily routine or while traveling.

A reminder of the story behind Remember the Ice

One of the most important components of understanding the principles of Remember the Ice is to continually raise your awareness.  Repetition is the mother of skill is a favorite thought of mine.  Here is the story behind the concept to help keep in your top of mind awareness:

"Three things..."

I am both a subscriber to and sender of QuoteActions, an inspirational daily message with an "actionable suggestion" to implement the idea.  My friend Rick Itzkowich is the creator and it is a brilliant program to stay in touch with key people in your life.  Thank you Rick for today's message.  I want to share the screen shot just as I received it this morning.

Of course, I personally was attracted to the spoken word part of Mr. Plunkett's message.

Think about your word choice when you are giving directions, making a bold statement, or sharing a tender moment with a loved one.  Eradicating those "(K)notty Words" will allow you to convey a more empowering message.  That is the key tenet of Remember the Ice.

Those of you who are fans of RTI and the message have "heard me say that" and have "read it over and over" in my postings, articles and books.

I will continue to sing that song, because repetition is the mother of skill and continues as a strong heart beat.

It is a beautiful day here in Anchorage, and I am enjoying it with empowering word choice as my guide.

Empowering Regards to one and all...

Happy Mothers Day
