Every report card I got as a kid had some version of:
“Very talkative.”
“Talks too much.”
“Disrupts the class by talking.”
One teacher even told me she just hoped my talkativeness would help me one day instead of getting me into trouble. 😂
Well… turns out, it did.
I literally get paid to talk now.
I talk to business owners about their tech, ask a million questions, give advice, explain things, speak at workshops and somehow that very talkative little girl grew up and built her own little systems consultancy business, in a foreign country, she now calls home.
Funny how the things you’re told to tone down when you’re younger can end up becoming one of your biggest strengths.
You might not need to become less of it.
You might just need to find the place where it becomes your thing.
Anyway… sorry to all my teachers.
Turns out I did not, in fact, learn to talk less. 😂🌼
