“Strong people don't put others down. They lift them up.” – Michael P. Watson
This quote has always stood out to me because it captures something essential about leadership, communication, and influence.
Real strength isn’t about control or dominance, it’s about the ability to help others to rise up.
In the world of NLP this idea takes on a very practical form. NLP teaches you that the words you use, the states you hold, and the meanings you create have a direct impact on others.
Every conversation becomes an opportunity to either build someone’s confidence or diminish it. Every time you speak, you change the way someone feels.
When you use NLP to listen actively, offer feedback constructively, and model positive states, you naturally lift others up.
You help them to access their own internal resources instead of feeling small or stuck. That’s not just good communication, it’s real strength in action.
I’ve found that the most impactful communicators aren’t the ones who speak the loudest. They’re the ones who understand how to connect, encourage, and empower through language.
How do you use your communication to lift others up?
