Let's Get To Work

A life well lived is one where you feel seen, heard, and valued by the people with whom you spend your time. It’s one where you can bring your whole self into any relationship or room you enter.

At Words Well Said, our work is intended to give you the communication skills you need to make the life you want — at home, the office, and everywhere in between — a reality.

THE ORIGIN STORY

Dr. Amber
L. Wright

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved people and I’ve loved words. I often marvel at the fact that my life’s journey has brought me to a place where I get to bring those two loves together each day in my work.

Over the last 20 years in the field of communication, I’ve learned that it’s not enough to tell people, “You have to communicate.” As a directive, that statement isn’t helpful because what it means to communicate effectively means something different to each of us.

What we need are tools and practical strategies that help us raise our level of self-awareness and strengthen our communication abilities. My goal is to make that process easier for folks who understand it to be a necessary part of the healthy relationships they desire, both personally and professionally.

Amber helped me find myself. The woman outside of the leader and the CEO.

She helped me gain confidence, to hold my head up, to find joy, and understand the possibilities that exist when I recognize who I am and walk confidently in that knowing.

It was a pleasure having Amber as our keynote speaker for our employee Wellness Week.

From the beginning, Amber and her team ensured that we felt understood, seen, and reassured that our employees would be receiving a thoughtful, warm, and inspiring keynote. We were blown away!

As an executive coach, Dr. Amber Wright has been an invaluable asset to my career development.

Over the past six years, through three executive director/CEO positions, the investment I made in her coaching services has not only been an investment in my professional excellence but, more importantly, an investment in myself.

Amber is excellent at what she does. As a communication coach, she has helped me prepare for interviews...

…in which I was able to convey my authentic self, passion, and skill set in a confident but engaging manner. In every interview in which I have used her assistance, I landed the position. She is just that good! Amber is a joy to work with; she is a wordsmith, dedicated to her craft, witty, and dependable.

How to Claim Your Authentic Authority

You have the credentials and the experience. The expertise flows out of you because you’ve spent years learning, researching, and deepening what you know. But when it’s time to step into that expertise, you hedge. You doubt yourself. You soften the edges of what you actually know. Maybe you’re in an environment that doesn’t honor […]

The Cost of Being “Good”

Be nice. Be quiet. Don’t make waves. Keep the peace. If those phrases sound familiar, you didn’t stumble into people-pleasing. You were trained for it. And the training started early — in classrooms, at dinner tables, in the way adults responded when you were agreeable versus when you were honest. “Good girl” conditioning teaches you […]
