What separates great communicators from everyone else? It’s not confidence, charisma, or having the perfect words.
Matt Abrahams, Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer, bestselling author of Think Faster, Talk Smarter, and host of the Think Fast, Talk Smart podcast, reveals why many of our instincts before presentations, meetings, and difficult conversations may be working against us.
In this episode, we cover:
The best way to introduce yourself
How to interrupt someone politely
What to do in the final five minutes before an important presentation
Why memorizing a speech can actually make you worse
What Matt means when he tells people to “dare to be dull”
How to respond to criticism
How great communicators listen, ask questions, and make others feel heard.
Matt’s central message: great communication isn't about perfection. It's about connection.
