In this chapter, the hosts discuss the recurring themes of focusing on the audience, being present, and listening in previous episodes. They then delve into the insights of experts in improvisation, who share tips on becoming more comfortable and confident in spontaneous speaking situations and highlight the challenges people face in these situations.
In January of 2020 we launched Think Fast Talk Smart with the goal of helping people improve their communication skills. Now, with more than 100 episodes and an engaged audience tuning in from more than 200 countries, we're proud to take you back to the very first episode, where the magic began.
As we've discussed multiple times on the show, most professional communication is spontaneous in nature. It’s providing feedback in the moment, answering questions, introducing people. On this inaugural episode, Strategic Communication lecturer Matt Abrahams speaks with Stanford lecturers Adam Tobin and Dan Klein on how to become more comfortable and confident in in-the-moment speaking situations.
