🌴143. Breveloquence
Hey, thanks for tuning in today! I'm still here in Sydney, fresh off a multi-day event. I obviously can’t reveal the client or all the details, but Icanshare a powerful takeaway from the experience—especially for those of you tuning in daily.
Today’s topic?Precision in speech.
Which, if you've been listening toLeanne on Demand, might sound like theoppositeof how I usually roll! 😅 Most episodes start with just a word or two in my head, and I riff from there. But in this particular event, I had to be extremely deliberate. Why? Because I was being filmedandsimultaneously translated. No room for rambling, no fast-talking, no riffing.
It really hit me how much value there is in practicing brevity. This daily podcast has trained me to speak on the fly. But when it matters, it also helps toland the plane quickly.
I shared a quote from Jim Rohn in a workshop with Sally Prosser that really sums it up:
"We often try to make up in words what we lack in confidence."
Mic. Drop. 🎤
If you're confident in your value, you don’t need to over-explain it.
I wrap with one of my favourite portmanteaus from Alan Weiss:breveloquence—the marriage of brevity and eloquence.
Catch you tomorrow!
