123: Beyond Surface Language with Mark England

Language is a powerful shaper of our experience. The depth of training and knowledge most of us have when it comes to words stops at basic grammar.  I remember when I had my first powerful experience with language and consciousness, and how from that moment forward, my view of language was forever changed.

Back on episode 065 I chatted with Mark England about Upgrading Your Language to Resolve Conflicts at Home, at Work, and In Your Head where we got into the nuts and bolts of Procabulary and how to use language. Today we are diving deeper to go beyond surface language.

Mark England is a TEDx speaker and the co-founder and lead presenter of Procabulary. He loves to travel, exchange empowering ideas and strategies and practice martial arts. Mark holds a Masters Degree in International Education and was an elementary sports teacher before developing Procabulary.

Procabulary builds fun, simple and easy to use tools that help you discover direction, purpose and turbo-charge every goal – from the smallest daily task to life’s biggest dreams.

As we roll into today’s show Mark and I both share our own short story of the first time we experienced the power of language and then pull back the curtain to go beyond the surface.
