I watched a recording of a presentation by someone I am coaching. He was trying to explain to his senior leaders why his approach to a problem was the best one.He started giving IRRELEVANT contextual information by over-explaining the problem. As the minutes dragged by while he laid out the scenario, I could see the leaders getting bored.
All the leaders wanted was a quick summary in order to make a decision.

You can learn how not to be an over-explainer, and John Millen explains it beautifully.
