Video: Why Words Matter at Work, In Job Search, and In the Year Ahead

As we close out the calendar year, Karen offers a meaningful reminder: words matter. In an increasingly digital world, where communication is often reduced to emails, texts, and emojis, the significance of language is sometimes lost. Whether you’re leading teams or navigating job transitions—the words you choose carry weight. From crafting a compelling LinkedIn profile to communicating effectively with colleagues or a board, the right language can shape outcomes and relationships. In 2025, Cultivating Careers will launch a new video series centered around one keyword each month, using client stories to explore how language influences professional growth and personal clarity. This season, Karen encourages us to share generously, connect intentionally, and speak with care.

Note: These videos were originally started during COVID and shared exclusively with the Cultivating Careers community—past and present clients—as a way to share timely insights and stay connected during times of uncertainty and change. Now, we’re sharing them more broadly, as many of the topics remain just as relevant today.
