The power of words is demonstrated best in the form of speeches.  Your ability to deliver the “proper words at the appropriate time”, can stir the emotions in the audience. These emotions can then transcend into actions. What is the true power of words? The power to motivate to action!

The true power behind words lies in their meaning to the person who hears them. Far more than simple conversation, words have the power to manipulate a person’s thinking and thus their behavior. It is the audience’s interpretation of the meaning of what they hear, that causes their emotional reaction. A good speaker can read his audience’s response and then alter his delivery to guide them in the direction he wants.

Communication can be used to persuade, inform, comfort or lead to action.  Your ability to generate an emotional response in an audience, then move that audience to action is called the art of the sale.  As a speaker, with a defined reason to talk, you can with targeted phrases, grab the attention of your audience.  Then describe their problem and pain and introduce your solution in such a way, that its value will generate an action. This works for a sales pitch, political speech or sermon.

The power of words is immense.  Consider your choice of words before you speak.  Another way to say it, “Think Before You Speak”.
