## Story

When it comes to employee engagement, too often we forget just how impactful our words are and how the delivery of those words matters too.

The way you communicate, everything from your choice of words to your facial expressions, can either accelerate someone's learning and motivation or be a severe hindrance.

While you may be wanting to share knowledge and inspiration, it will only get lost in translation if that initial connection isn't made first.

If you want an engaged employee then try connecting on a deeper level.
