The 3 Communication Mistakes Ruining Your Conversations

Join me on Supercast for ad-free episodes, bonus content, and AMAs: https://jefferson.supercast.com/

There are three mistakes I see people make in conversations every single day—and they’re quietly destroying relationships without you realizing it. In this episode, I break down why using absolutes like “always” and “never” instantly derails communication, how overexplaining weakens your message, and why the first seven seconds of any conversation matter more than everything that follows. If you want to be heard, respected, and taken seriously, this is where you start.
