To monitor your own non-verbals:
•
Eye contact (maintain it)
•
Posture (no slouching)
•
Actions (tics, twiddling, scratching, yawning, etc.!)
z
To avoid “junk” words (like, you know, um, uh, 
you know what I’m saying?)
z
To be as prepared to listen as you are to 
speak.
Show OH 74 (Don’t Forget!). 
Emphasize: What you don’t say 
can
hurt you. There are several non-
verbal behaviors that can seriously detract from your leadership image. 
Say: There is another interesting communication/teaching tip that can add 
impact, inspiration and understanding to your words and make them more 
memorable.

The Power of (the Right) Words 
75
The Power of (the right) Words
z
“The time is always right to do what is 
right.” Martin Luther King
z
“You can’t build a reputation on what 
you are going to do.” Henry Ford
z
“Never let the fear of striking out get in 
your way.” Babe Ruth
Show OH 75 (The Power of (the right) Words). 
Say: Using powerful quotes or success stories can really reinforce the 
viewpoint that you are presenting. Speechwriters use this tactic all the time 
to add interest or to drive home a point. Compare these two statements: 
¾ “Keep trying.” 
¾ “Don’t give up. Even Michael Jordan didn’t make his high-school 
basketball team on the first try.”
