lack of clarity before speaking is a primary cause of miscommunication
audiences filter messages through beliefs, experience, emotions, and recent events
misunderstanding doesn’t always mean disagreement—it often means confusion
credibility collapses quickly when listeners detect inconsistency or untruths
unintended messages act like static that makes the message fuzzy
word choice and grammar quietly shape how you are judged
body language often overrides spoken words when there is conflict
voice inflection and pace can undermine confidence and trust
