  • People change their language depending on who they are speaking with, what is happening and the role each person has. Respectful language can still sound friendly, formal, helpful or firm.
  • Use this routine: Notice context → Identify roles → Choose words → Check tone.
  • Watch for using the same wording everywhere: Change the wording when the audience, purpose or role changes.
