Ep22: Are you a fast talker? Slow down!
In this episode (series), Mei Phing discusses why extroverts should pace their conversations and avoid bombarding others with excessive information. It is important to observe nonverbal cues and ensure that the other person understands and absorbs what is being said.
Key Highlights
🗣️ Extroverts’ high energy and enthusiasm can sometimes lead to excessive talking, which may overwhelm others and hinder effective communication.
⏸️ Pausing and reflecting on the purpose of a conversation helps extroverts become more aware of their communication style and adjust it to ensure better understanding and absorption of information by the other person.
🌟 Building deep relationships requires extroverts to pace themselves and share information in smaller, manageable portions, allowing the other person to fully absorb and potentially take action on the insights shared.
📣 Providing energy and excitement is important, but it should be balanced with the delivery of practical strategies and actionable advice to inspire others to take meaningful action.
❓ Extroverts should regularly assess how much they focus on the other person during conversations and consider whether they are pacing themselves appropriately to ensure effective communication and understanding.
🤝 Pacing conversations and ensuring understanding is crucial for extroverts in various relationships, including professional settings (managers, clients, vendors) and personal relationships (spouse, friends), as it allows for better connection and effective communication.
💡 The key is to find a balance between expressing oneself authentically and considering the impact and understanding of the other person, ensuring that communication is a two-way process rather than a monologue.
