There is a difference between showing up and showing off.
Showing up means sharing your best and doing your best, being present, and communicating to impress in important situations, such as job interviews, a community fundraising event, or meetings with company CEOs and presidents. Showing off means constantly trying to one-up your family and friends, using your biggest and brightest words in a less-than sincere way, or trying too hard to look cool when meeting up with your friends for happy hour, for example.
EliteVocab is all about showing up for you so that you can showcase your intelligence and powers of persuasion without trying to sound pretentious—it entails learning how and when to use certain words and phrases. In addition, the platform will help you understand meaning and intent so that you can follow intense and intelligent discussions with greater ease.
Persuasion without pretension
Part of the battle is intent. If you are genuine in your attempt to build vocabulary and new knowledge, that will likely come across as showing up. If you only want to learn new words and phrases so that you can continually steal the spotlight, that is definitely more about showing off.
The good news is that EliteVocab focuses on knowledge without pretension while teaching you the smartest words to use in a non-competitive format so that you simply use the best word for the situation you are in. You don’t need to use one power word after another after another, but you do want to develop confidence in using elite vocabulary in a natural, unforced way, particularly in those high-profile professional situations.
In just 20 minutes a day over the course of 30 days, EliteVocab will help you understand how to best use power words appropriately and impactfully. Again, it’s all about showing up for yourself so you can shine when the time comes.
The power of science and research
Through its science-backed online platform, EliteVocab will help you understand and adopt power words and advanced idioms so that they can be used with comfort, transitioning them from your passive vocabulary to your active vocabulary.
The platform shines with its clear definitions and explanations, synonyms, and sentence examples. It makes it easy to learn, easy to remember, and easy to take the next step. Understanding and internalizing these words and phrases is just as—if not more—important than using them after the fact.
For instance, if you are in a meeting and hear words such as “histrionic,” “meretricious” or “egregious” or idioms such as “on an even keel” or “in dire straits,” you will need to recognize what is being said so that you can acknowledge that and then respond in kind. Then, once you have developed the confidence of elite communication without pretension through EliteVocab, you can employ these words to deliver a strong message and persuade others of your value and your point of view.
Words have power and purpose
Words have power, intent, and meaning behind them. Words can change minds and change lives. Even the littlest of words can pack a big punch.
While it’s ok to show off a little in professional situations and let others know that you are well-versed when it comes to communicating, learning new words isn’t just to dazzle others—it benefits your brain, your career and earning prospects, and your ability to communicate. You can use power words every single day in a variety of situations by knowing your audience, focusing on persuasion over pretension, and being willing to slow down for some audiences or dial up your communication for others.
