373: Why Strategically Speaking Less Gives You MORE Influence & Executive Presence

I tried this strategy  in a meeting today, and I couldn’t believe it—people paid way more attention when I spoke less!

Welcome back to Speak Up, the podcast for high-performing introverts (yes, even you social introverts!) where we reveal the charisma & communication secrets of A-Listers so that you get the recognition and opportunities you have earned.

Today, we’re talking about why less is more—how saying less makes you sound more confident, more powerful, and a whole lot easier to listen to.

2️⃣ Why short answers aren’t always the solution either.

3️⃣ The game-changing tool to use so people actually want more from you.
