Words are the cheapest culture change available. The language below shows up in policies, emails, safety meetings, and break rooms, and each swap makes it a little easier for someone to ask for help. Search it, steal it, paste it into your handbook.

Maybe a few of these words landed harder than expected, because they've been said about you, or you've been saying them to yourself. That wondering is worth paying attention to, and it doesn't have to mean anything about anything. Curiosity is not a confession. And if you want a place to start that doesn’t involve telling anyone anything, try the quietest experiment I know: take 30 days off and just notice what happens. No labels, no announcements, no decisions. The noticing is the whole assignment.
