LESSON 4 · Speak Up at Work
The 7-Day Swap Challenge
Pick one phrase swap and practice it for 7 days. Track every time you use the old phrase versus the new one, and keep a running tally somewhere visible.
After one week, the new phrase feels natural. Then add another. Stack a few swaps and your whole communication style shifts, even if you never announce the change.
Start here: drop "Let me know if you need anything" for "I can write up the meeting notes and send them around by tomorrow."
