Many professionals provide too much information when they speak—at meetings, during updates with managers, in presentations, or when trying to get a simple point across. Authors Leesa Wallace and Kathy McAfee refer to these long-winded professionals as “Wild Bores,” and we are all at risk for becoming just like them.In this concise, practical, and engaging book, you will learn how to deliver information that is “just enough,” not “just in case.” The useful tools and examples will show you how to pare down your opening, organize your thoughts, and handle a challenge. As a result, you’ll become a more efficient communicator, able to lead more productive discussions. By using fewer words, you can have more impact and greater influence at work.
