Don't Waffle

Pros

In communication,“To waffle” means to speak or write in a way that is unclear, indecisive, or overly long without getting to the point. To avoid waffling, focus on your main point before you speak and keep your message simple and direct. Think about what you want to say, choose clear words, and don’t over-explain. Confidence comes from being concise. If you’re unsure, pause, organize your thoughts, and then respond with purpose.

Regular speaking practice with a native helps you, build your confidence and understand how to construct simple and easy to understand sentences. Book a lesson with me today so I can help you on this journey and you can never again be accused of waffling.
