It's easy to make something complicated, hard to make something simple. How to fix this?
Take a few seconds - gather your thoughts. Perhaps right them down. Take a quick breather to better formulate and then articulate your thoughts
Use signposting - Always preface what you will be saying. For example, when brainstorming you can say "I'm thinking about this in three main ways: A, B, and C. Within A we can look at..."
Practice with a coach - Other PrepLoungers are fantastic practice but they are generally too nice! you need a coach who will really hit back and work with you to improve your answers.
I think it's worth calling out that it's not easy when you are thinking off the cuff in an interview setting. Having said that, I personally think it largely comes down to structuring. Write down the 3-5 things you want to get across. Distill the WHAT at its essence before getting into the details and rationale (i.e., WHY). Often, it's completely fine to call out the ‘headings’ of what you want to communicate first then go into the details. Specifically in case interviews, this allows you to establish the bigger picture with your interviewer, who most often times already has a good sense of potential considerations and does not need them to be spelt out in lots of detail.

Hi there,
I would recommend to:
1. Always structure your thinking before you speak out (what is that you want to say, what is key take away, goal, etc.)
2. Read newspapers and magazines (e.g. The Economist)
3. Subscribe to newsletter from MBB to get feel of the language
