Wörter können viel. Sie können Gefühle auslösen, Reaktionen hervorrufen und dafür sorgen, dass man sie missversteht und streitet. Ein Wort kann jemanden einlullen, streicheln, betören, besänftigen aber auch wütend und aggressiv werden lassen. Wörter können die große Liebe fördern und Kriege auslösen.

The economical stigma when living with a disease and being an expert!
by Birgit Bauer
A while ago I found and shared that article in my social media channels. It discusses how words can stigmatize people living with illnesses and / or disabilities. It says, that there is a stigma in wording what shouldn’t be. https://www.readersdigest.co.uk/inspire/life/the-way-we-talk-about-disability-matters
Once you become a patient, very often you lose your identity as a person for others. You become a case or a number, especially in hospitals etc. Being a “patient” can be very stigmatizing in general. Because if it has been said once, people start to think very different and very often you are packed in a box of misconceptions and prejudices. The diagnose of a disease changes a lot in the life and the professional life of a person, it’s challenging to let people know that you are still there, the person not defined by a disease. There are many words stigmatizing people, but stigma is much more.
Also in an economical way ...

When a meeting feels uncomfortable - public complain or constructive thinking?
As Expert in a specific area, as panelist or as member of an advisory board.
You prepare as good as you can, you dial in in time and you are present to contribute with valuable information whenever it is possible.
Because those meetings, especially online meetings live from their participants. From the lively information exchange. This must be well prepared not only from the participants also from the organizing team.
Preparation Materials must be provided in an adequate timeframe to invited people and also inform them about the tool which will be used. It is essential to bring everything together, team, speakers or panelists and materials.
Moderators have to prepare themselves too. They have to know what the needs and goals of the meetings are and the themes the group should discuss. It is about leading, time keeping, having a look at the chat for further comments and incoming questions. Another person is responsible for a protocol and maybe for moving the slides forward.
Every single job in this field is a hard one. No matter if you come as participant or as Organisator. Every single event means a lot of work, preparation and organization.
