Intent vs. Impact

In communication, our intentions don’t always align with the impact our words or actions have on others. Even with the best intentions, it's possible to unintentionally hurt someone. Understanding the difference between intent and impact is crucial for fostering empathy and maintaining positive relationships, both personally and professionally.
