Blab Lissenot

This villain is extremely dangerous. He takes over a person’s mouth and forces it to work overtime, thus, preventing the transfer of critical information from one party to another. Lissenot’s powers are extraordinary. At times he will cast his infamous “blabber brain” spell which makes you focus on what you’re going to say after another person finishes speaking, instead of paying attention to what that person is saying. Another of his favorite spells is the “interruptus maximus” which makes people constantly interrupt the person speaking. Blab knows that the better you are at listening and understanding, the greater your chances for success. Therefore, he will do everything in his power to have you run your mouth.

SUPER HERO TIP FOR OVERCOMING THIS VILLAIN:
A good way to do away with your Blab is to keep your mouth shut. Listen and don’t just pretend to listen. Try to really understand what the person is saying. Give 100% of your attention while the other person speaks and look into their eyes. Even when you feel the urge to jump out of your skin to say something, don’t do it while another person is speaking. Risk not making the brightest comment, not showing how much you know, not having the satisfaction of correcting the person speaking. Stop reacting to what you hear and listen to understand what is being said, in its complete context. Instead of reacting to the person, take a moment to think and perhaps ask a question, to make sure you got it, then respond.
