I had the privilege of speaking with Alex at Carnegie Hall, NYC and heard many interesting and useful “Alexisms”.

He quotes Einstein “Nothing happens until something moves”. What he tries to convey by this is that Verbs move people.  Use verbs and less adjectives when communicating.

Takeaway I’ve learned from Alex Mandossian

There is only one verb to describe you- the one action word. Once you know what that is, you can work toward it and gain clarity.

Here are some examples with Descartes leading the bunch: I think, therefore I am

  • Fuller- I test, therefore I am
  • Montessori- I teach, therefore I am
  • Mother Teresa- I care, therefore I am
  • Hemingway- I write, therefore I am
  • Earhart- I fly, therefore I am
  • Joan Rivers- I provoke, therefore I am
  • Frank Lloyd Wright- I design, therefore I am
  • Nelson Mandela- I defy, therefore I am
  • Ghandi- I protect, therefore I am
  • Disney- I dream, therefore I am
