I used to think great communication meant being polished or saying exactly the right thing.

I was wrong.

It’s about being OK with messing up, but returning to the learning cycle, to continue improving over time.

To do this, we have to be brave enough to know that two things can be true at the same time.

It’s about being clear and still being kind.

It’s about disagreeing and still showing respect.

You can speak your truth and still leave space for theirs.

You can be direct and still be compassionate.

You can challenge someone and still want what’s best for them.

You can set boundaries and still be generous.

You can hold your ground and still stay open.

You can ask for what you need and still listen deeply to others.

You can say no and still care.

You can pause before reacting and still feel intensely.

You can give feedback and still encourage.

You can name hard things and still build trust.

You can influence others by changing yourself.

Growth comes from tension.
