"learn in your speech"?

I was reading a book about teaching meditation to kids. In the book, the author says,

"Derivative of Native American councils and other contemplative traditions, the Council 
program was  adapted for  classroom  use  by Jack Zimmerman from the  Ojai  Foundation  in  California.
The  council  format  is  well suited  to  mindful  awareness  practice.  Its  four  intentions-speak 
from  the heart, listen from  the heart, be lean in your speech, and be spontaneous-encourage 
kids to develop their own voices and trust themselves."
 
What does "learn in your speech" means in this context? Thank you for your answer in advance.
