Episode notes
Words Are Only One Layer
- Miscommunication happens because what you say rarely equals what others hear.
- Tone, frequency, and context often shape meaning more than words.
Frame The Conversation First
- Frame conversations at the start by asking how the other person wants to receive information.
- Use follow-up questions to confirm that what you said was actually heard.

- Casual and professional conversations carry different expectations and costs.
- Not paying attention to someone at home decreases their perceived value more than at work.
