Weekend thoughts..

This weekend, I was pondering if I talk too much? The balance between speaking up and knowing when to hold back can be tricky, especially in an office setting. People can feel the pressure to speak up just to be noticed or show they're contributing. People often speak to fill up space rather than speak when they have something valuable or thoughtful to add.

Thinking about this I have come to realize, I  talk less but I do have an opportunity to reduce even more

-  the more we experience the less we speak.  It’s not because I have less to say, but because I understand more deeply that not every thought needs to be voiced

- Intelligent people listen a lot more and speak only when absolutely necessary.

- They share advice only when asked

- Feedback is a gift. don't waste a gift by giving it to people who you don't care about
