Case 003: When Explanation Starts Sounding Like an Excuse

from Communication Case · host Ross Chian

A direct question. A careful answer. A moment that quietly starts losing trust. In this Communication Case, Ross breaks down why too much explanation can make you sound less clear, less grounded, and less in control — even when what you’re saying is true — and how to respond with more ownership, better structure, and stronger credibility when the pressure is on.Case 003:當你的解釋,開始聽起來像在找理由一個直接的問題。一個看似很完整的回答。一個明明沒有說錯,卻慢慢讓信任往下掉的時刻。在這一集的 Communication Case 裡,Ross 會拆解:為什麼你講得越多,反而越容易聽起來不夠直接、不夠穩、甚至像在替自己找理由——即使你講的都是真的。你也會聽到,在壓力之下,怎麼用更好的結構、更清楚的承擔感,還有更有說服力的方式,把話說對。
