Say less than you WANT to say; say it with confidence.
Whether you're responding to questions, requesting information or items, or reporting, the key to success is the same: say less than YOU WANT to say. Avoid the data dump syndrome. Hardly ever does someone want to know all you know about a topic. To determine what to say, consider the audience. What's their hot button, what is their angle, what's their agenda,what do they need to hear ?

Having made that assessment, say it with power and confidence. Learn the secrets of "buying time"; put your brain in gear first, your mouth in gear second.
