The day I stopped explaining everything

Nov 29, 2025 8:01 am

Hey


There was a moment early in my career where I realized I was talking too much.


Every answer I gave was a mini-whiteboard session. Every update had the whole pipeline in it.


One day a director stopped me mid-sentence and said, “What do you need from me?” I didn’t even know. I was too deep in the weeds.


That day I started preparing one line before every meeting:


Here’s what I need from you today.


It changed how people listened. It changed how I walked into a room. It changed how fast decisions happened.


If you want more patterns like this, the full library is open at the lowest price I’ve ever offered. The promo won’t run long.
