I’m not saying you need to be a communication guru, but just being a bit more aware of how your words land can change everything.

I used to think if my intentions were good, that was enough. Turns out, people don’t always hear what you mean—they hear what hits them.

I heard this line somewhere: “What you’re talking is not important, it’s about how they receive it that matters”. That stuck.

Now I pause before I speak, ask myself, “Will this actually help or just sound smart?” It’s a small shift, but it’s made my conversations way smoother.
