When I don’t take the time to carefully choose my words, I babble.

I will keep talking until I feel I’ve come at some conclusive end, but only find I’m going in circles.

Even when I do know what to say, there’s a strong temptation to keep going.

Treat your words like a good sauce.

Boil down your message to just the essentials – the flavour punch.

Strip everything away that doesn’t add to the core of what you’re trying to say.

We may think people want to hear more, but they don’t.
