124: Less is More: Simplifying Communication for Better Understanding

Send us a text

Sometimes we think using more words and more context will get our point across. But many times our message is lost in the story. Here are some practical tips on how to communicate more effectively and clearly to ensure your needs are understood.

What You Will Learn:

• How overexplaining can create confusion rather than clarity in communication.
• Strategies for simplifying your message to ensure it’s received and understood.
• The reasons why empaths and highly sensitive people tend to overexplain, including fear of misunderstanding, need for reassurance, and guilt.
• Practical tips for reducing overexplaining, such as knowing your main point, sticking to relevant information, and asking for feedback.
• How mindfulness and clarity can improve your communication and help meet your needs more effectively.

Simplifying your communication to focus on one or two clear sentences can be far more effective than overloading your listener with excessive details, making it easier for both parties to understand and address your needs.
