Episode #106. 10 words phrases and cliches to avoid at work

Your words are shaping your personal brand — in every meeting, email, and conversation. In this episode, we’ll explore 10 common workplace clichés that quietly weaken your confidence, credibility, clarity and verbal personal brand. If you’re ready to sound more intentional, authoritative, and aligned with your personal brand this is your cue to refine how you speak.

Perfect for you if you’re looking to:

• Strengthen your personal brand through everyday communication

• Eliminate filler phrases and outdated workplace language• Speak with more confidence, clarity, and conviction

• Refine how you show up in meetings, emails, and leadership moments

• Sound like the leader you’re becoming — not the cliché you’ve outgrown

What we’ll cover:

- Why “but” triggers negativity and how to replace it

- What to say instead of “sorry to bother you”

- Why phrases like “I think” or “hopefully” dilute your message

- How to build trust without saying “I’ll be honest”

- Elegant alternatives that support your executive presence and personal brand
