What If Your Words Could Save a Life?

from A Quest for Well-Being · host Valeria Teles

— Have you ever considered that a single conversation could change the course of someone's life? That a few words spoken at the right moment might offer hope, inspire healing, strengthen a relationship, or even save a life? Today, we're exploring the extraordinary power of words with Nelson Price, co-author of Everyone's a Change Agent: The Power of Words For Better – For Worse. Drawing from a lifetime of experience as a communicator, storyteller, and media leader, Nelson reminds us that our everyday conversations carry far more influence than we often realize. In this conversation, we'll explore how beliefs are shaped through language, how childhood messages can impact us for decades, and why love, compassion, and mindful communication have the power to transform lives. Most importantly, we'll discover how each of us can become a positive force for change through the words we choose every day. Join us as we explore the simple yet profound truth that our words matter—and that every one of us has the potential to be a change agent. Valeria sits with Nelson Price  — He is the author of  "Everyone's a Change Agent: The Power of Words for Better or Worse."  He also served as a professional communicator throughout his career, beginning as communications officer for two United Methodist bishops, later working for the denomination's national communications agency, and eventually as president/CEO of the Odyssey Cable Network, a coalition of 67 faith communities. He has produced award-winning television and radio programs, as well as documentaries filmed in the U.S., Africa, China, and India. Price lives in Dewitt, NY (Syracuse).
