Tone: Encouraging and supportive

Intended Audience: Individuals facing challenges or feeling overwhelmed, such as students, professionals, or anyone undergoing a stressful situation.

How does the style influence the tone and audience? The use of conversational language and direct address ("I know what you’re thinking") creates a sense of intimacy and understanding, which makes the speaker relatable to the audience. Phrases such as "trust me," and "you’ve got this" are affirming and motivational, encouraging the audience to feel more confident and capable. By acknowledging the audience's feelings and offering reassurance, the style promotes a supportive atmosphere, making it especially appealing to those dealing with difficulties who may seek comfort and encouragement. The advice to "take it one step at a time" further breaks down the overwhelming situation, providing practical guidance and reinforcing the message of manageable progress.
