015 Intent vs. Impact

“I’m sorry if that was offensive, I didn’t mean it like that.” But it landed like that, so now what should you do? When confronted about actions or words that have hurt someone, are you more concerned with how you meant to come across, or how you were received? Of course this applies to allyship, but it’s a life lesson for all human interactions. In this episodes I am talking about the importance of being more concerned with your impact than your intent. I share reflection questions that help you decipher how you respond to conflict as well as questions you can ask yourself in the midst of conflict where your impact and your intent are not aligned.
