The future of effective communication

Guest Matt Abrahams is a master communicator who helps others overcome their fear of speaking - before live audiences, in small groups, or even one-on-one. His catchphrase, “Think fast. Talk smart,” describes a mindset that, he says, is key to speaking well. Thinking fast is the ability to recognize and respond to patterns in order to talk smart - becoming more salient, relevant, and concise in the process. Abrahams coaches host Russ Altman on how to talk smart on this episode of Stanford Engineering’s The Future of Everything podcast.
