Power of Words
You use language and words every day to communicate, but you also use words to label people. 

When you use a word like "addict" or "user," there are other meanings attached and usually the meanings aren’t positive. 

Words can have negative consequences if they’re not used thoughtfully, but they can also have amazing potential to change your life. 

Tony Scruggs is a true believer in the power of words. 

His work with empathy training and antibullying revolves around the ways you can use language positively and for good. 

Tony shares his work and stories about how words can change your life if you use them with thought and care.
