What is loser language?<\/p>\n

Loser language is anything that presents your situation in a way that states that it is unsolvable.<\/p>\n

Words and phrases like confused, frustrated, struggling, busy, “I don’t have time”, and “I don’t know” are all dead-ends to conversations and change.<\/p>\n

Instead of confused, ask questions for clarity.<\/p>\n

Instead of reaching the point of frustration, ask for assistance or set expectations clearly.<\/p>\n

Instead of struggling, state “Here’s something I am dealing with right now, can you provide me some advice on how to effectively handle it?”<\/p>\n

Instead of busy or “I don’t have time”, let people know what you can do.<\/p>\n

Instead of “I don’t know” or “I didn’t know”, be sure to follow directions and re-read or ask questions for clarity to learn more.<\/p>\n
