#028: The Dance of Visibility (Part 2): How to Stop Over Explaining!

In this episode, we tackle Part 2 of the “Dance of Visibility” discussing ways to reduce over explaining and over justifying our messages. Are you someone who finds yourself in moments of over explaining? This week is about the part of the dance where we speak up too much then regret the interaction altogether. TalkDoc challenges our emotion of worry in these moments. Perhaps you worry about others’ negative perceptions of you or worry about not belonging. Research show us four ways people confuse messages by repeating, false starts, filled pauses and unfilled pauses. These misfires confuse the listener. Strategies to combat these misfires, begin yet again with getting to know ourselves better, doing more planning instead of clean up and giving yourself permission to be bold. Those in powerful positions have greater responsibility to create spaces to reduce confusion and promote clarity.
