66. Why People Keep Misunderstanding You (And How to Fix It)

In this solo episode of It Starts With YOU, Vic O'Farrell explores one of the biggest reasons communication breaks down. It isn't always because people aren't listening. More often, it's because they interpret your words through their own experiences, personality and perspective.

Inspired by a coaching conversation with a client, Vic explains why the gap between what we say and what someone else hears can create confusion, frustration and unnecessary mistakes. Whether you're leading a team, managing projects, parenting or simply trying to communicate more effectively, this episode shares a simple shift that can dramatically improve understanding.

Rather than asking, "Do you understand?", Vic explains how taking responsibility for how your message lands creates psychological safety, encourages clarification and helps build stronger relationships.

. "It Starts with You" podcast is available everywhere on Wednesdays every fortnight.
