When reporting to the board makes you over-explain

The board meeting is Thursday and I've already rewritten my update five times. The moment I stand in front of those people my mouth runs ahead of me and I explain every tiny detail nobody asked about. I can feel them losing interest while I keep talking, and I can't seem to stop.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Reporting to the board or executives scares you so much that you over-explain everything.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
