Between the lines, people read what they want to read… 📖

Perhaps we should learn to write better lines instead?

Clarity is one of the core values I work on with my coachees:

Clarity in communication, but also in:

💡 Vision

💡 Desires

💡 Boundaries

💡 Obstacles

Why is it so tempting to stay vague? 🤔

Because avoiding specifics means:

🔸 No guilt if the goal isn’t reached.

🔹 No responsibility for outcomes.

🔸 No promises to others you have to keep.

🔹 No need to clarify assumptions.

It all boils down to conflict:

💢 Conflicts with yourself and your goals.

💢 Conflicts with others about agreements.

---

When expectations are unclear, there’s room for interpretation.

And when things go wrong, that vagueness makes it easy to avoid accountability.

But keep this in mind:

- Goals can be adjusted.

- Not reaching a goal does not mean failure.

Yet, any adjustment should be for the right reasons.

Back to conflicts:

We often think avoiding clarity means avoiding conflict.

🌀 Agreeing for the sake of peace, avoiding specifics, or holding back your opinion…

…all seem like ways to sidestep friction.

🤔 “No differences, no conflict. Right?”

Wrong.

The conflict just gets deferred.

By suppressing your opinion or boundaries, you’re planting the seeds for a future blowup.

💥 Those seeds don’t disappear—they grow and fester.

When they resurface, it’s often at the worst time, and it hits hard.

Let’s normalise this:

Everyone’s voice matters. 📣

Let’s draw clear lines instead of dodging around them.

Respecting diverse opinions means creating clarity in the decisions that follow:

🗣️ “Thank you for your input. I hear you, but we’re choosing a different direction as a group.”

Now, everyone knows where they stand.

They can also make the next informed decision:

“Does this align with my values and principles?”

Clear. Clean. Isn’t that wonderful?
