horseshoe magnetWord of the Week: COMPELLING

There are so many effective words out there to choose from, but like our favorite jeans, out of habit, we can just keep reaching for the same ones over and over again.

Word of the Week series is not about overly scholarly, out of reach, or unfamiliar words; it's about re-discovering words we all know, just may have forgotten about. Words with character, words with presence, words that add nuance. Words that can make us more effective communicators. Words that may become our new favorite words. This word of the week is COMPELLING.

I love this word!! Officially an adjective, because it is all about inspiring strong action I nominate it for verb status as well. it's defined as "... evoking interest, attention, or admiration in a powerfully irresistible way...not being able to be refuted...inspiring conviction. NOT ABLE TO BE RESISTED". REALLY! How cool is it to be the one who has a COMPELLING point of view, or presents a COMPELLING option?

COMPELLING is THOUGHTFUL. It creates an intellectual discussion. What I really like about this word is that it's about ATTRACTION...not persuasion, not coercion, and not hype. It brings others in. It is FORCEFUL, but NOT STRESSFUL.

COMPELLING affirms DUE DILLIGENCE has been performed. It intimates you are drawn to a certain action or conclusion by careful deliberations. Perhaps even against your emotional will? In fearful or uncertain times, that is a mightly powerful sentiment.

May you be COMPELLED to use wonderful words this coming week!!

Just make sure you do not use some words when the word might over exagerate something.  Such as buyers have made a compelling offer.

What is compelling is the latest monumental decision about going from affordable health-care to now the biggest tax hike in history and/or how this will effect housing.

BRENDA! Thank you for stopping by!

Hi Edward if my seller was being presented with what I thought was a good offer they should take, I would describe it as compelling.

Marie~ Good word choice.  We all want to be the compelling choice when a consumer has a choice, so we must have a compelling presentation that "screams" we are the best man/woman for the job!

Hi Winston-not to over-simplify, but troubles in the housing and health care industries both have roots in deferring difficult decisions. At this point pain is inevitable, but we still have some choice in the matter. This isn't/wasn't a political forum, but having said that I have never been prouder to have voted for someone as I did 3 1/2 years ago, and I am, indeed, COMPELLED to help him win re-election.

DONNA! Compelling answers all the questions and makes it clear...here's to you and I being IRRESISTIBLE to our clients!

The word itself is . . . compelling.  Very good choice Marie.  And what "compelled" you?!?   It's like a SUPER WORD -- something SUPER MAN feels [compelled] to save folks.  ;-)
