I talk too much.
‘Always have.
Sometimes it’s nerves.
Sometimes it’s insecurity.
Sometimes it’s to hear my thoughts out loud so I can at least try to make sense of them.
It was something that Sophia Loren said to me that has made me, finally, quieten.
A little bit.
And understand what’s really going on when anybody.
Or any business.
Overcommunicates.
We are all at our most interesting.
I think.
As people or businesses.
When we are intriguing.
When we know how to prioritise what we say.
Because when we overcommunicate.
What we’re really saying is, I’ve not spent the time to get to know you.
And because I’ve not spent the time to get to know you, I don’t know what the most important thing to say to you is.
So here’s the lot!
Here’s what Sophia said.
Regarding overcommunication.
“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got.
And fifty percent what people think you’ve got.”
Intriguing.
