Most people think conversations are about words.

They think arguments are about facts, meetings are about strategy, and disagreements are about opinions.

But beneath most conversations… there is usually another negotiation happening entirely.

Status.

Validation.

Control.

Fear.

Identity.

In this episode of *Speaking With Intent*, I break down the hidden psychological dynamics underneath everyday communication - and why intelligent people often misunderstand what is *really* happening in high-stakes conversations.

If you have ever walked away from an interaction feeling like “something else” was happening beneath the surface...this episode is for you.

Because often...the conversation was never actually about the conversation.
