345. The Delicate Dance of Communication feat. Matt Abrahams

Do you find communication a necessary evil rather than a tool for success? How can you use communication as a fundamental key to success in both your personal and professional lives?
Matt Abrahams is a Lecturer in Organizational Behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, podcaster, and author. His latest book is Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot.
Matt and Greg dissect the difference between rehearsed and spontaneous communication, demonstrating how mastering both is within reach and discuss the pivotal role of mindset and attitude in the journey to effective communication. Matt gives insight on both providing and receiving feedback, and they explore how communication styles and preferences change between eras and age groups. Matt reveals how stories and structures enhance communication and how anyone can get better at communication with practice.
unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.

12:50 is a great point when the host asked about our evaluation of comedy that is in the moment versus rehearsed, I think it absolutely true. When you see you favourite comedian telling the same joke on a different talk show and you suddenly go "ahh.. its reheased". I think we are willing to suspend our belief that presentation is not rehearsed but once we detect it we switch off from the content a bit and start scrutinizing the behaviour of the presenter more.
