Why You Struggle to Think Fast and Talk Smart

Do you struggle to think fast and speak smart? In other words, do you find it hard to think fast and speak clearly in work conversations? This can happen if you're stressed or nervous, if you have disorganised thoughts, or if what you want to say is too complicated.

When these things happen in work conversations and you can't think fast or speak smart (intelligently), it can damage your credibility and therefore your career progression.

You see the only way people can know how intelligent or competent you are is through your communication. The way you explain complicated concepts. The way you organise your thoughts. And the vocabulary you use too. All of these things are clues for the other person as to how intelligent or competent you are.

When you struggle to find the right words or when you can't get your thoughts clear in your mind, you miss the opportunity to show you're a competence and intelligent leader. This can result in you not having your ideas heard, not having your work recognised, and you not reaching your true potential.

I encourage you to overcome the obstacles that are stopping you from thinking fast and speaking intelligently. Start by finding out what these obstacles are in this video!

Your videos always help me a bit. Coming from a working class family, I always feel having a slightly lower status, which results in less confidence, in turn leading to a chain reaction. I'm trying to switch perspectives with other people to alleviate this feeling.

The more you speak the truth the less you need to remember and the less you will struggle … thanks for this video. 😊

[ladymushroom]

Thank you for always providing practical advice. I've been practicing the 'read, write, speak' methods for some time and applied it to my recent interviews. I'm naturally not good at interviewing, but this method helped me convey my ideas clearly in the interviews. Wish I knew it when I was in college.

Crafting an acronym or sentence (mnemonics) from the list of words, items, tasks etc helps me learn, think and speak faster.

Reason 8: Poor culture fit. It’s hard to be eloquent when you don’t agree with the agenda your company is pushing. People try to fake it until they make it but that is not a game you will ever win. You’re not going to change what your leadership team is doing so if you don’t believe in what you do anymore, just leave.
