"How to Improve Your Vocabulary -
And Why It's Vital That You Do So"
By Marc Slater - Director of eReflect Vocabulary Institute
On a fresh sunny summer’s morning in San Francisco, 25 years ago, two young men applied for the same job as office clerks in an exciting new company. They were very similar, these two young men. Both were above-average students at college and both were well-liked and confident. And both, as ambitious young people, were filled with dreams and hopes for a successful future.
Recently, after not talking to each other for more than 24 years, these two men bumped into each other at a wedding.
They were still very much alike. Both were happily married with children. And both, as fate would have it, were still working for the same San Francisco company, which had since grown to be a leader in its field.
But there was a difference. One of the men was a project manager for a small accounts team. The other was the company’s CEO.
What Made The Difference?
Have you ever wondered, as I have, what gives successful people that mysterious edge? It isn’t that one person wants success and the other doesn’t. And it isn’t that one person has better ideas and plans than the other.
The difference lies in how each person is able to communicate with and persuade other human beings.
And that’s why I want to talk about vocabulary – because your single most important communication tool is your vocabulary: the words you use to communicate, persuade, and bond with your fellow human beings.
What Scientists Have Discovered About Vocabulary And Success
After studying the difference between successful and unsuccessful people for more than a decade, here's what research scientist Johnson O’Connor concluded:
"An extensive knowledge of the exact meanings of English words accompanies outstanding success in this country more often than any other single characteristic we have been able to isolate and measure."
O’Connor gave vocabulary tests to employees in 39 large companies. He found that in virtually every case, vocabulary level predicted the employee’s position in the company.
Presidents and vice presidents scored an average 236 out of a possible 272 points; managers, 168 points; superintendents, 140; foremen, 114; floor bosses, 86.
Put another way - the better your vocabulary, the higher the position you will attain.
Vocabulary Is Power ...
... But Only If You Learn The Right Words
Having a powerful vocabulary means that you can always express your ideas perfectly. It means that you sound smart and articulate. And it means that people will pay attention to your ideas when you speak.
When you are confident in the vocabulary you use, that grants you instant respect and credibility. Right or wrong, when you communicate well, people will assume you are smarter than those who don't have the same skill.
Benefits of a strong vocabulary include:
- Elite communication skills - When you use words precisely and accurately, you'll get your point across with clarity and impact, no matter the situation.
- Clear and elegant emails - A strong command of the right words gives your emails the professional edge that quickly earns the respect of colleagues and friends.
- Powerful presentations - Impress listeners with perfect speaking skills and your audience will be riveted to your message as you deliver it with clear and articulate language.
- Instant comprehension - Understand what you read, from the very first. An unfamiliar word is the number one reason for not understanding something. With your new vocabulary you will easily understand all but the most technical material.
- Increased IQ - Improving your vocabulary is the best known way to improve your IQ. A better vocabulary literally makes you smarter.
- Increased impact - Not only will you be smarter, you'll sound smarter when you speak. People will assume from your communication skills that you are intelligent and competent.
But Only If You Learn The Right Words
Using big words won't always improve your communication skills. Nor will it always improve the impact of your message. The trick is to use the right words.
Successful people use the right words in the right context - they don't just use any big word they can think of to try to impress their audience.
This is where Confidence In ContextTM words fit in. Confidence In ContextTM words are hand picked especially to enhance your communication skills. They are words that many people will recognize, but only the most successful people are confident enough to use.
Words To Get You Respect, Status, And A Promotion
At eReflect Vocabulary Institute, we put together an elite team of world-leading vocabulary experts to decipher the "secret vocabulary” that the highest achievers use. We set out to find the words used by powerful communicators ... to uncover the fast track to success. Here's what we did:
- We analyzed the exact language used by 273 highly successful leaders in 11 fields.
- We studied the difference between words used by higher-ranked and lower-ranked employees in 39 companies.
- We analyzed 3,094 top business journals, articles, and reports.
- We met with and interviewed top performers in 11 different fields ranging from government service to private enterprise.
- We studied 6 existing vocabulary building CD programs to find out how to best eliminate their weaknesses.
As a result, we put together a list of Confidence In ContextTM words. These words represent what we call the "secret vocabulary of success." They are the words that easily roll off the tongues of elite leaders ... but that unsuccessful people don't know – or don't know how to use.
Learning the "secret vocabulary of success" puts you in a different league of communication - empowering you for achievement beyond your wildest dreams.
A Vocabulary Program Unlike Any Other
Confidence In ContextTM only teaches Confident In Context WordsTM. This guarantees that your time will be spent learning only the words that will help you earn promotions, respect, and credibility.
But what makes Confidence In ContextTM really different is the way we teach the words.
Most CD programs teach you new vocabulary by providing you with definitions, synonyms, and usage examples ... and nothing else. In other words, it's the same information you'd get from any good dictionary.
Confidence In ContextTM includes all the features of a regular vocabulary program. But what makes it really different is that it also includes a revolutionary learning method called Laser-Targeted ConversationsTM.
With Laser-Targeted ConversationsTM, you get to hear real-life, extended conversations that zoom in on the target words with pinpoint accuracy.
Studies Show That We Learn Most Words By Hearing Them In Conversations
This does a lot to explain why previous CD programs have been ineffective. Confidence In ContextTM teaches your brain the way it was designed to learn new words - by hearing them in conversations.
Learning with Laser-Targeted ConversationsTM is fast and effortless. And the best part is you will be able to start using your new vocabulary words in the correct context immediately and automatically.
You Master 30 Powerful New Words On Each CD
Confidence In ContextTM is not a crash course in thousands of words. If your goal is to half-learn half a hundred words a day, then this program is not for you.
With each CD (a new one is available each month), you will completely master 30 new words. We take all the time needed to ensure that you have complete confidence using your new words.
We spend at least 300% more time on each word as compared to other vocabulary CD programs. Our philosophy is that it's better to completely master one word than it is to half-learn one hundred.
Confidence In ContextTM Receives Rave Reviews From Vocabulary Critics
Read below to see what experts and vocabulary critics are saying about Confidence In ContextTM.
“I just listen, and then I find myself using the
At last - a product that can help me to learn to use new words in REAL live situations! With the old methods of vocabulary building I could learn the definitions of new words but I never seemed to have the confidence to USE them in conversation. With these new recordings I am learning with no real effort - I just listen, and then I find myself using the words without even thinking about it! Thanks for making such an awesome course! |
“...you not only recall the right word for the
It’s a frightening thought that every word you write or utter is like a neon sign, sending out messages about your education, your competence and your status to the whole world. So it’s no wonder that there are lots of programs on the market to help you build a better and stronger vocabulary. The thing is that the majority of these programs are very much the “same old, same old” … or at least, they were. But I’ve just been given a sneak preview of a program that’s based on the latest research into how we learn words. If you stop and think about it, as children, we didn’t learn words by sitting at a desk in front of a text book, did we? We didn’t learn words by listening to a tape drone on and on with definitions. We learnt by hearing words in context … as they’re used in everyday conversations. And that’s exactly what this new system of vocabulary training does — it triggers your brain’s natural word-learning processes so you not only recall the right word for the right occasion, but you also know exactly how to use it in context. |
“I couldn't believe it when the words
After testing only the first month of Confidence In ContextTM I was amazed. I didn't realize how well I'd learnt the new words until the next day when I used two of them on the phone without even thinking about it. I couldn't believe it when the words just came out so easily |
“This course can save a lot of embarrassment.”
This course can save a lot of embarrassment. I’ve seen would-be professionals give presentations using words like ‘penultimate’ when they meant ‘ultimate’; ‘fragrant’ when they meant ‘flagrant’; and ‘vigorous’ when they meant ‘rigorous’. If only they used Confidence In Context. |
