About

CatchYaBreath

Read full description

After about 30 secs of uninterrupted talking in conversations, listeners tend to get bored and speakers are perceived as too chatty. Psychiatrist, business consultant and book author Mark Goulston wrote an Harward Business Review article about the psychological background of that effect and why many of us talk too much. He shares a great tool for fighting monologues introduced by fellow coach Marty Nemko: The Traffic Light Rule. CatchYaBreath implements the Traffic Light Rule with a timer you run while talking. You’ll develop a natural feeling for how long you’re talking. Escape the monologue trap by training with CatchYaBreath.
