Communication is most effective if it gets the message across without distressing the recipient, which can put them into a defensive or shut down mode.


BERKELEY, Calif. (PRWEB)

When approaching a challenging conversation topic, we need to consider our own emotional needs, the needs of those on the receiving end, the contexts of those needs, and the ways in which we share and receive information about all the factors at play.

Our communication style affects others, so the approach we use truly matters. In its new communication article collection, Supportiv (https://www.supportiv.com) provides step-by-step, how-to guides for reducing anxiety, overcoming awkwardness, confidently conveying your point, and more. Most importantly, these articles highlight how to stay true to oneself while staying conscious of others’ emotional needs in conversation.

Underlining the difficulty of conversing nowadays, Supportiv CEO & Co-Founder Helena Plater-Zyberk notes that “Communication is most effective if it gets the message across without distressing the recipient, which can put them into a defensive or shut down mode. In today’s world, where most of us live on the edge of stress, our conversations are trickier to navigate and become more challenging.”

Supportiv’s communication resources (https://www.supportiv.com/communication) aim to simplify the act of communicating–removing the guesswork, shame, or fear of managing emotions that can come with conversational exchanges. Topics in the collection include:
