You know exactly what you want to say.
You’ve rehearsed it in your head.
It’s clear. It’s sharp. It’s confident.

And then you get into the meeting…
…and suddenly you start rambling.
You soften your point.
You add five extra sentences no one asked for.

And somehow… what was clear in your head now sounds uncertain out loud.

It feels like a communication issue.
But what if it’s not that at all?

In this week’s Breaking Free from the Grind episode, I’m diving in to discuss:

  •  Why overexplaining and overjustifying aren’t about being thorough—but are actually driven by self-doubt and the need to manage other people’s reactions
  • The 3 moments high performers lose authority at work (saying no, making asks, and sharing their point of view)—and how overexplaining in these moments is quietly holding you back
  • The #1 senior leadership shift to certainty—and how to communicate clearly, concisely, and confidently so you’re seen (and respected) as a senior leader

If you find yourself overexplaining in meetings, rewriting messages multiple times, or walking away from conversations thinking “that didn’t land how I wanted”…

This episode will show you what’s really happening, and how to shift into the kind of communication that actually reflects your level.
