• Your resume - this is a big one! The words you use on your resume will make the difference between that longed-for job offer, and being tossed into the trash can.
  
• Business presentations - when you confidently use business power words in your presentations you will be perceived as more intelligent, more competent and a better communicator.
  
• Written communication. The business world is spawning a huge proliferation of hastily composed emails and electronic documents thrown together with little thought. The good news is that with your new, powerful vocabulary, it will be easy for you to stand out from the crowd as a great communicator.
  
• Meetings (especially when your boss is present!) - You'd be surprised how little you need to say in a high-powered meeting to make a very big positive impression. Even if you sit quietly for an hour, absorbing all that is being said, if you can then speak up just for a few seconds with some insight, summary or call to action, you can suddenly make yourself seem like the most intelligent, knowledgeable and competent person in the room.
