This powerful guide explores five common phrases managers use and their unintended consequences, offering invaluable strategies to lead with intentionality and purpose. “Words matter. The language of leadership has the power to inspire or hinder progress,” says Bridget Tucker Smith. “This book aims to spotlight the importance of mindful communication and equip leaders with tools to foster a thriving and inclusive work environment. ”Bridget, who recently discussed these themes in her interview with Logan Crawford on The Spotlight Network, draws from over 30 years of experience in leadership roles across the biotech, pharmaceutical, patient care, and education industries.

Her personal joys include being a mother to her daughter, cooking, gardening, traveling, and mentoring youth. Bridget’s love for music, sports, and community engagement further exemplifies her multifaceted approach to leadership and life.

Bridget shares, “I wrote this book to spotlight the language of leaders and how words spoken to me and others stifled productivity, sabotaged growth, and eroded trust. As leaders, we must be mindful of what we say, when we say it, and how we say it.” The book provides practical steps and tools for leaders to communicate with purpose and foster inclusivity.

The core message of Why Did You Say That? is that words matter. Bridget’s "Invest in You" framework emphasizes intentionality in all actions, building strong networks, visualizing success, continuous education while establishing a supportive village, learning from exemplary leaders, and trusting one’s unique journey. Inclusive leadership is the bridge that unites and empowers teams, fostering an environment where creativity and productivity thrive. As Bridget notes, “Free your mind” – a nod to En Vogue’s iconic 1992 anthem.
