Meetings
After half an hour of the meeting has passed, people seem to hear about 50% or less of what is said.
The rest of the time, they're thinking about previous comments, or (...)
Hence it's normal to have to repeat something you said.
If you make a point and the result is a tumbleweed reaction, just say it again.
