The Power of Words![]() How often do you read a book and can clearly imagine it in your mind, visualizing all the little details, what the characters look like, how they sound, even what they’re wearing? Isn’t it magical when this happens? What if your website, blog and social media copy could do the same? Could it help potential clients connect with you on a deeper level, where you can show who you are in a real way, without the jargon, without the hard sales pitch? You don’t write well? Writing and expressing yourself doesn’t come naturally? Most people feel this way.
