Are You Saying The Wrong 5 Words At Work?

Being taken serious at work, especially if you are in a management position is a good thing. However using these words can seriously make you look wishy washy and sometimes plain unreliable. Here is a list of words compiled by Mashable.com that you should NOT use in your place of business.

1. Almost- This is a word that means not going all the way. Instead of using this word, tell those around you exactly where you are in your project and what the projected time of completion is.

2. Someday- This is a word that is telling those around you that you have no sense of urgency. That you are too busy to complete the task. It is simply better to say no, if you are unable to complete the task due to your time restraints.

3. Try- According to Mashable /;

 We're always encouraged to keep trying when it comes to reaching our goals. But at some point you have to stop trying, and just start doing. Otherwise your co-workers will lose faith in your abilities.

4. Might- If you are a decision maker, this word is not good. The people you work around depend on you to be the final say, and using that word, will definitely cause inconsistency. If you are a leader, you should use words like "will and won't".

5. Wish- This is a very powerful word. When you choose to use this word, it tells others that you are very passive. "I wish" verses saying "I will" makes a huge difference in not only your confidence level, but will encourage those around you that you are going to make things happen.
