Let’s get one thing straight… Effectively communicating with others is not always easy! There will be conflict, challenges, frustrations, irritations and all the other niggles that come along with the relationships in our lives, be it professional, family, platonic or romantic, that will impact on our communication style.
But why is it that having that conversation with someone to voice your concerns, can feel so difficult or awkward?
Many people avoid confronting others, because there’s a fear that it won’t play out well and people will leave feeling attacked, demoralised or belittled. However, whilst not having that difficult or awkward conversation might seem like the easiest approach, it’s not going to benefit the relationship. The very word ‘relationship’ can be split as follows:
Relation + Ship = Relationship
Both parties need to be sailing the same ship, heading to the same destination in the same direction in order to relate to each other.
