I ask you to get a little meta here, julie, if that's ok. The notion of o practice, an giving space to learn how to communicate better is so important. Can you share some of the things you think about and do to prepare yourself and your content before you present or faci? Yes, it feels a little personal, but no, i'm not criticising or critiquing. I am spiritual, but not religious. And as a way to kind of get my mindfulness game going, im, i offer what some might call a prayer. Let me connect. Let me help everybody here somehow feel seen in the message i'm trying to deliver. Wow.
“Communication is such a delicate dance and kids need to emerge from childhood having practiced,” says Julie Lythcott-Haims, former associate vice provost of undergraduate education Stanford University.
In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, lecturer and podcast host Matt Abrahams sits down with Lythcott-Haims to discuss her new book, Your Turn: How to be an Adult, and ideas on how to communicate with young people so they feel empowered to take on the various (and often intimidating) duties of adulthood.
“Responsibility isn’t a bad thing,” she says. “Responsibility is actually an amazing thing. And I think we have to do a better job of narrating that truth.”
