The ROI of changing language to be more inclusive.

Kim, Jason, and Amy discuss the importance of using inclusive language and the impact of non-inclusive language, often dismissed as being "too sensitive.” They explore the concept of "red words," terms that can shut down communication by triggering negative reactions, and emphasize that good communication is measured by its impact on the listener. They share personal anecdotes illustrating how specific words can cause offense and stress the importance of being mindful of the language used to foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding. The episode also delves into the resistance some people have to changing their language and how acknowledging and adapting to others' sensitivities can significantly improve communication and relationships.
