Hi Listeners. I'd love to hear from you. Send a text by Fan Mail.
In healthy and effective communication, the strategic use of apologies and explanations can significantly influence the outcome and effectiveness of our efforts to manage potential rifts in our relationships. Both play an essential role in maintaining trust, reducing confusion and ensuring seemingly small grievances don’t become catastrophic.
Where apologies address the emotional aspects of a conflict, explanations tackle the rational side. By understanding when and how to use each communication tool strategically, we can foster an environment of trust, clarity, and mutual respect, leading to a more healthy and mutually respectful relationship.
In this episode, I provide a brief and specific explanation of the differences between an apology and an explanation.
Listen to the extended episode to learn more about how and when to use each.
