Too much information can come across as arrogance and “talking down.” To avoid sounding like a walking, talking museum or Wikipedia, leave it to the listener to guide the discussion. For example, offer this: “I can go into a deeper explanation about X if you’d like me to?”
But never phrase your offer like this: “Do you need me to explain X?” Rarely will anyone take you up on such an offer. They fear that they’ll seem ignorant. Or they’ll hesitate to “try your patience” with a request for more detail.
To sum up: To avoid turning your explanation into a lecture rather than a learning experience, encourage discussion. Your phrasing and delivery matter a great deal to clarity and the listener’s confidence.
