Communication Tip of the Day from Treat Consulting: DON'T PUT PEAS IN YOUR GUACAMOLE. One of the biggest problems people managers have is over-talking a point. Simplify your words and say what you want to say. Say it directly. Say it clearly. Then, stop. Wait for a response. Listen. Learn. Repeat. Don't put peas in your guacamole. Peas flatten the taste; likewise, over-talking. It flattens the point.
