Ask HN: How can I learn to "talk a lot and say nothing"?
I'm a very introverted engineer, on the autism spectrum, and I want to get good at "management-style speaking" or "talking a lot and saying little". Talking purely for the purpose of persuasion or conveying emotion rather than transfering information is something I suck at.
I'm used to communicating as effectively as possible, using as few words as possible, but I understand this makes me less attractive as "management material" in a corporate world. I've been called "cold" in professional settings.
Are there any books on this? I'm not sure if this is the right term for it. I've noticed politicians and high-ranking executives do this very well in interviews. It's like they have a built-in LLM---I'd like to learn that skill, if possible.
