Written messages are easy to misread.
The other person doesn’t hear your tone. They don’t see your face. And you can’t clarify if it lands badly.
So if it’s emotional, nuanced or important… speak instead.
Jump on a call. Have an open conversation. You’ll both notice more – and you’ll both feel more understood.
When you talk in real time, you can explain, adjust and move things forward. It’s faster. It’s clearer.
And it builds trust.
Next time it really matters, talk it through.
Write less. Talk more.
