You said one thing. They heard something completely different. And now you're the one in trouble.

If you're dyslexic or ADHD, this happens more than it should. This episode is about why, and what to do about it.

In this episode:

• Why 80% of what's in your head never makes it out of your mouth
• The one question that stops an argument before it starts ("What's your picture?")
• Why the second reaction does more damage than the first misunderstanding
• What to say to repair it instead of proving you were right
