Self consciousness

Are you sometimes self conscious of what you are saying while communicating? Do you wish you could have done a better job in expressing yourself instead of fumbling on your words? Maybe this story will help you. Jones had an idea on how to make a ground breaking change to one of the most important metrics in the company he works in. He started to speak to his boss, who in this case had Jones' fate in his hand. Jones, while trying to be perfect, could not help but think about his choice of words, making sure his pitch was not to high so as not to be percieved as aggressive, wondered what his boss was percieving him. All these different mixed brain activities disrupted the coherence in his voice. No telling the outcome of the conversation. The lesson learned is to shut off all internal voices and be internally stable. Focus on the mission at hand. Remember if you do not express the change you want successfully, what you get is status quo.
