When it comes to things that I’m passionate about, I can be long winded. In fact, I have discovered a new talent: word vomit!

And the listener’s reaction is just as vile as it sounds.

So, my friend, don’t word vomit!!

But how? It’s so easy to just explode with excitement and soak your conversation partner with saturated words.

Think, pause, and then speak.

Articulation is not just crisp sounds. It is about effectively communicating. And to properly communicate, you must spend equal shares listening as you sharing.

No body ever suffered from over-sharing when their focus was on the give and take of conversation. You’ll never scare off or disgust your friend by taking a few seconds to remember to listen!
