Success Language

It's Not Code-Switching, It's Upleveling

Welcome to Black Executive Men! To join 1,700 readers who are learning success strategies for Black men in senior leadership, subscribe below.

To elevate your career, whether within your company or by starting your own business, it's crucial to learn and adopt the language of success.

This means familiarizing yourself with the vocabulary used by senior leadership and C-suite executives.

Just as a doctor must learn medical terminology to be taken seriously in their field, you too need to become well-versed in the specific jargon relevant to your industry.

For those aspiring towards management or aiming for higher leadership roles, incorporating this language into your communication can add a level of gravitas to your presence.

Make an effort to study what people are saying at these levels and how they express themselves using appropriate terms.

Dismiss any concerns about not sounding "black enough" or "too white," as these notions are counterproductive.

While maintaining elements of Black vernacular when engaging with the Black community is something you should keep, mastering the language of success is non-negotiable.

This includes learning and applying key vocabulary across various aspects of corporate America – from senior leadership within your company to broader industry standards.

By embracing this new language and making it part of who you are, doors will open for you professionally and lead towards greater opportunities in the future.
