Providing too much details/over-explaining is so underrated it’s almost a career crime.

The more senior your audience, the fewer words you should use.

It’s as if the air gets thinner the higher you climb the corporate ladder: words are oxygen, so we should not waste them.

You nailed all the mistakes I did in the past, and when I wasn't so junior.

Being concise, having strong opinions, communicating clearly the why, etc. All of this is not easy but can be learned.

Thanks for the great post, Tessa!
