Language does more than carry information. It shapes how we are understood, how we connect with others, and how we move through our work and relationships.

In Terminology Is More Than Words, I explore how the words we choose quietly influence perception, trust, and opportunity. Terminology doesn’t simply describe ideas. It reflects how we think, what we value, and how clearly we understand the situations we’re part of.

Rather than offering scripts or communication shortcuts, this book looks beneath the surface of language. Small differences in terminology can change how conversations unfold, how professional relationships develop, and how messages are interpreted over time.

By paying closer attention to the words we use, we begin to see how language shapes alignment—often in subtle ways we don’t immediately notice.
