Description

In this episode of the Confident Women Lead Podcast, part of our Speak Like Power Series, we tackle the issue of overexplaining and how it undermines your authority. Using the example of Jasmine, a marketing director, we discuss strategies for saying less but speaking stronger to hold your power during critical meetings. Learn how overexplaining dilutes your message, wastes time, and reinforces unconscious bias about your competence. Discover a powerful reframe to make concise, impactful recommendations and maintain control of the conversation.
