The first part of spontaneous speaking is listening in a way to figure out what is needed. In silence, you give permission for people to step forward and say things that they might not normally say. When somebody tells you something, when somebody asks you in the moment for feedback, ask a question. What type of feedback are you looking for? Are you looking for feedback about what happened or how you felt? A certain type of question I think is very powerful is to ask for what you didn't hear.
Today I've invited Matt Abraham's to the show. Matt is a lecturer at Stanford, he specializes in the essentials of strategic communication, and is the host of the Think Fast Talk Smart podcast. I reached out to Matt to issue a friendly challenge, by way of an invitation, to think fast and talk smart on this podcast. By the end of this episode, you will be able to make your communication more memorable.
