What do your words say about you?

 ”Smart?  Educated?  Professional?  Trustworthy?  Articulate?  Knowledgeable?   Impressive?”
Or …
“Uneducated?  Unprofessional?  Careless? Undependable?   Unimpressive?  Clueless?”

Fairly or not, your words paint a picture of you. The good news is, you can control that picture by using the right words, by being WORD SAVVY.

A word about the header . . . The sculpture of the seated human figure framing the header is titled “We” and  is by the world-renowned Barcelona-born sculptor Jaume Plensa, who describes it as “a celebration of linguistic diversity.” The hollow figure is formed entirely  of random stainless steel letters from eight different alphabets.   It is shown here exhibited in Vancouver’s Biennale  art exhibit (2009-2011), where visitors sat on its arm and  climbed inside to surround themselves with letters.   The photograph is by  Dan Fairchild Photography.  See  “HereInVancouver’s photostream” at www.flickr.com .
