139. Stop Over-Explaining in Meetings: The 60-Second Reset for Leaders
Send us a text
You are in a high-stakes meeting making a critical point, and suddenly you realize you have been talking for minutes straight. You see a peer check their phone; you see a stakeholder’s eyes glaze over. Your instinct is to apologize or trail off, but in senior leadership, that is a power leak. It is time to trade the apology for a strategic reset.
WHAT THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT
Welcome to the inaugural Monday Momentum episode: a new weekly series designed to give you one high-impact strategy in five minutes to start your week strong.
Please note: These Monday episodes are a new addition to our schedule. Our signature, deep-dive masterclasses will continue to drop every Thursday as usual. Monday Momentum is here to give you an extra boost of tactical, executive-level tools to use immediately.
In this debut session, Kele Belton addresses a challenge that even the most seasoned women leaders face: the habit of over-explaining. When you add layer upon layer of context, you risk being seen as who executes tasks rather than a strategic leader. Kele teaches you The 60-Second Reset, a three-step framework to self-correct in real time, demonstrating the executive-level agility that commands a room.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- The 60-Second Reset: A high-status framework to recover gracefully when you catch yourself over-explaining, without undermining your authority.
- The "No-Apology" Pivot: Four specific redirect phrases that allow you to cut the ramble and refocus the conversation instantly.
- The Bottom-Line Rule: The art of stating your actual point in one clear, high-stakes sentence.
- Strategic Engagement: How to invite others into the conversation to shift focus from your recovery to collective problem-solving.
- Agility as Status: Why real-time self-correction is a leadership skill that signals command and professional awareness.
