ย โ is the real struggle I hear from many of my clients.
Picture this.
You're in a meeting. You start strong, but then...
you add one more data point...
then another detail to expand on the first...
and another for clarification...
By the time you wrap up your key message is buried under a pile of context.
Your audience is confused.
You're frustrated.
And you walk away thinking "I NEED to be more concise!"
But here's the kicker.
Saying less isn't the only answer.
Until you understand what has you over explaining, you'll keep struggling to cut things down,
because everything feels important!
So ask yourself, what is it that has me saying so much?
For many clients I've worked it comes from:
Wanting to prove their value
Feeling the need to control outcome
Fearing they'll be seen as wrong
Proving they are experts
These patterns hold you back more than you realize.
Instead of focusing on word count, focus on what's going on behind your words.
Are you speaking to prove yourself - or to inspire?
Are you trying to control - or to connect?
Are you driven by fear - or guided by purpose?
Real clarity doesn't just come from saying less.
It comes from understanding yourself more.
Then trimming the content to match your intention.
Take a moment to consider:
What drives you to overdeliver?
