​

I was so excited to welcome Terre Short to our Empowering Perspectives meeting this month. Terre is a true adventurer, exploring her individual evolutionary journey.  She is a human potential developer who specializes in leadership development and communication skills.  

​

Terre published The Words We Choose in August 2020. The book covers how to choose words that connect to values and intention. It spans the words we choose for ourselves (the voice in your head), with loved ones, at large in the world, at work, through technology – not spoken, and with a higher power. In

 

The book provides detailed analysis of the immediate impact that even the smallest words can have on the message we are trying to communicate. Through guided exercises and fantastic real life examples, Terre helps the reader tune into and start making critical shifts in the words they choose. The result? More clear, authentic and heartfelt conversations with anyone with whom we might engage.
