Mistakes in Your Everyday Speech
The following are the seven deadly sins of impromptu (спонтанный) speaking. Commit them, and you’ll undercut (ослабить самопрезентацию) your image. Avoid them and you’ll strengthen your leadership.
Mistake #2. TALKING TOO MUCH
A second off-the-cuff blooper (спонтанная ошибка) is talking too much. Interrupting others, monopolizing a meeting, or going on and on far too long turns people off.
Blathering (трепать языком) usually reflects a failure to structure your thoughts. The solution: Establish your structure at the beginning and stick with it. If you’re going to give “options” or “reasons,” stay with that pattern of organization. Don’t digress (отвлекаться от темы) or let your motor mouth derail (помешать) you.
