The burden of being a good teacher is to package your ideas so that in such a way, the audience will come away knowing one new thing and be happy to have that new idea implanted in their minds. Inspire, direct, reverberate, challenge, stimulate, dramatize are just some of my top tips for effective communication. If you were to capture the best communication advice you have ever received as a five to seven word presentation slide title, what would it be? What are those five to seven words of advice you'd give? Are you up for that? I can try. Go ahead. Thanks.
“Social psychologists believe that if we want to understand our own behavior and the behavior of others, the first thing we have to ask or notice is, ‘What is the situation in which they are performing, in which they are behaving?’ And then we want to know as much about the situation as possible.”

The two also talk about how the findings of Zimbardo’s most notable (and controversial) study — the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment — inform our understanding of human behavior.
