Ice Chip #3
This week’s tip focuses on spotting the “(k)notty” words.
Last weeks Ice Chip reminded us of the story behind Remember the Ice. When I saw the disempowering sign Rick had about the ice, I focused on rephrasing it, and offered him a more empowering alternative.
This week is the start of what I hope will become a focus for each of you.
Looking for pictures of signs with "(k)notty words" in them.
"Not, Don't, Can't, Won't, Wouldn't, Couldn't, Shouldn't” are examples of what I call the "(k)notty words". I am in search of the most widely abused "(k)notty word phrases" in print.
Can you, and Will you help me?
Just take a picture of a sign with the "(k)notty words" in them, tell me where you found it; and include a picture of yourself if you like, and email them to me at bob.nicoll@remembertheice.com
Most importantly, think about how you would rephrase the statement from an empowered point of view.
These will become part of a book I am creating.
Thank you so much for your help, and please feel free to pass this on to your friends around the world. (At the moment, I am seeking signs in English only)
Again, thank you, and I hope to hear from you.
Until next week….
Best regards,
Bob
