22 分钟In this Best Of episode, Dan Klein, Adam Tobin and Matt Abrahams discuss how to speak "without a net."
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Across our many think fast talk smart episodes, a few themes have emerged repeatedly.
Focus on your audience and their needs.
Be present in the moment.
Listen intently.
Be concise and clear.
The seeds of these ideas can be heard way back in our very first episode.
As we approach our hundredth, we thought it would be both fun and educational to go back to episode number one where I chat with my colleagues, friends and improvisation mentors Dan Klein and Adam Tobin.
I especially love when we talk about being open to offers people make and being willing to be obvious.
I invite you to listen in and learn from this best of episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, the podcast.
When.
We think about our communication at work, we tend to focus on our presentations and meeting contributions that we know we should spend time preparing and practicing for.
But if you think about it, most of our professional communication is spontaneous in nature.
Its providing feedback in the moment, answering questions, introducing people.
These spur of the moment communication events can be as important, if not even more important, than our planned high stakes communications.
