Leveraging Psycholinguistics in Business
…the interconnection of thought, speech and action…
Have you ever wondered if words could influence human behavior? Well, that’s exactly what psycholinguistics is all about.
At the crossroads of psychology and strategy, psycholinguistics applied to the business world enables us to decipher and use the mechanisms of language to improve communication, strengthen leadership and optimize professional interactions.
Combining the theories and methods of psychology and linguistics, the science of psycholinguistics is being increasingly applied to the business world to raise awareness about the power and impact of the words we use.
My talks focus on three main pillars:
- The way we think, to develop an exponential mindset;
- The way we speak, to elevate your level of influence;
- The way we listen, to understand what the other person is really communicating beyond the words used.
Let’s delve into the fascinating world of psycholinguistics to gain a better understanding of how words influence the brain and behavior.
THEMES
What your words say about you – Develop an exponential mindset
This conference explores the link between language and behavior. By discovering the impact of language on personal and professional development, participants learn how to replace limiting language with the language of transition, momentum and personal power.
It’s time to step out of your comfort zone and take action by unleashing your personal and professional potentiality through every word spoken.
Better words, greater influence - The key to building stronger connections
In today’s fast-moving business world, effective communication is at the heart of any successful business. When applied to business, the emerging field of psycholinguistics can provide valuable insight into the interplay between language, cognition and human interaction—whether with an employee, a client, a potential client, or a strategic alliance.
Explore and use the potential of psycholinguistics to increase your influence, foster collaboration and lead to business success.
How to sell (yourself) - Get more “yeses”
Understanding why customers and prospects say “yes” is the first step to business growth. In this talk, we look at the elements that represent the deep aspirations and values behind clients’ buying decisions—whether it’s deciding to work with you or choosing to follow your recommendations.
A clear understanding of what customers value enhances client loyalty and drive revenue growth.
Are you listening? - Deciphering the conversation behind the conversation
Communication is a two-way street, and one of its most important components is the art of intentional listening—not just hearing words, but understanding what the other person is saying behind those words, grasping the subtleties of the sentence structure and even the verb tenses they use. These nuances can reveal deep-seated fears, objections and desires.
Harness the power of psycholinguistics by focusing on intentional listening and the significant impact it has on business relationships and results.

She adapted to the audience, professional, approachable, committed, efficient, and attentive to the room’s needs. It was a very focused audience, and it was evident that people were strongly considering what Sara was presenting to them.
A dynamic and caring approach for our members!
At the end of 2022, we contacted Ms. Gilbert to explore the possibility of collaborating on our new continuing education platform. Our platform was already packed with scientific conferences related to the veterinary profession, but we wanted to add a more management-oriented component. From the outset, we found Ms. Gilbert’s approach to be dynamic and supportive of our members. Her energetic personality and training in communication and leadership seemed perfectly suited to this first mandate. We look forward to continuing to work with her in the future, to the benefit of our members.

Quality training made easy
For the annual “kick-off” of firm, I wanted to have a session that would be “different” and give concrete and quick ideas to help my team in the area of personal development.
That’s why I called Sara, who I’ve worked with for several years in coaching; to give my team concrete tools to use the powerful LinkedIn tool in their business development.
Thanks to this training, my entire team now has ideas – and is already implementing them – to grow their business with a must-have business development tool: LinkedIn.
I warmly recommend her!
Thank you Sara for the high quality of your training and its simplicity.

Well-structured training, relevant support materials
I really liked this training: well-structured, relevant support materials, well-adapted tools to support my role, among others a proposal for a simple and clear coaching approach.
The training gave me benchmarks, and reminded me of others: the interpersonal relationship is the guiding thread of the coaching process; establish a good relationship first; understand the profile of the entrepreneur I am accompanying (understand his vision of the world and work with it…), identify the ultimate motivator, guide him, get him out of his comfort zone, help him maintain the focus, reference as needed … And so on.
In short, I learned! Thank you for your approach and your professionalism. I would also like to congratulate you on your dynamic animation. Thank you for everything!
Finding solutions to problems can be simpler than we think
Sara, thank you for making “simple” the things we tend to overthink and therefore make “complicated”. The industry sometimes gets the best of us but you present in a way that the foundational roots to all problems can be simpler than we think.
It is far from easy but your passion, comprehension and sense of self, helped my group get in touch with core strategies in order to redefining planning and building.

Encourages participants to dare with humility and to take action
Sara is passionate for what she does and a great speaker, as she was able to pass on her experience and passion during the corporate webinar. The presentation was impactful for me and my team and very enriching.
She was able to provide interesting tips that will bring added value in our daily life. In addition to capturing our attention, Sara Gilbert not only pushed our resources to question themselves, but also encouraged them to dare with all humility and to take action.

Puts things back into perspective and provides a clear process
Sara’s presentation on effective communication was excellent. We often underestimate what spoken words really mean and tend to understand them the way we see fit. Sara’s conference puts things back into perspective and provides a clear process on how to understand, adapt and respond to different types of clients. Thanks Sara and looking forward to working with you again!
