Default Need some help changing my vocabulary.

Hi all,

I need to some with ideas to stop using certain words often. In the last year I have become second in charge of a large company. While I do swear quite a bit that is not the issue at hand. I use the words cool and awesome. These are not words that bring a favourable light to myself or to the company.
Awesome is a recent addition, I was trying to find a word which conveyed some level of excitement about good news beyond saying 'that's good' or 'excellent', rightly or wrongly I began to use awesome. In hindsight and taking a step back from myself it probably wasn't the right choice in the first place.
Cool is a word I have been using for as long as I can remember and I am finding it very difficult to drop from my vocabulary.
