15 分钟Hi Matt here.
Before we get started, I wanted to wish all of you happy holidays and happy new year.
2025 marks Think Fast Talk Smart's five year anniversary and we are excited to continue to develop content and a community that supports you developing your communication and career.
We have lots of great things coming up.
In January you'll notice several collaborations we have with companies to help bring you more in depth and meaningful content.
In mid January, we'll release our miniseries on Communication Happiness and soon we'll also be hosting a LinkedIn Live focusing on expanding and developing your career.
As always, we thank you for listening and your support.
Hi Jenny here.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Jenny Luna, the founding executive producer of Think Fast Talk Smart.
Welcome to our first Premium AMA Ask Matt Anything.
This is a preview and I'm excited to help you get some questions answered.
Our Thinkfast Talk Smart AMAs allow you to directly get your communication questions answered by Matt and as a thinkfast Talk Smart premium member, you can submit your questions on our premium portal.
You'll not only hear your question answered, but you can hear all other premium members questions answered.
For our general listeners, we will periodically run AMA previews like this one, where you will hear a few of Matt's answers to the AMA questions.
So without further ado, let's bring Matt on to answer some of your insightful questions.
Hey Jenny, great to be here with you.
Thank you.
First up, we have a question from Sumiko and they write it is very difficult to listen to others opinions when we have strong opinions ourselves, especially when it comes to senior leadership who may not have the technical background to truly grasp a situation.
Could you share your thoughts on how I can have more constructive discussions, get alignment and move forward on a project before losing trust.
First, Sumiko, thank you for the question and trust is absolutely critical in all of our communication.
