SPEAK LIKE A CEO

213: Think Faster, Talk Smarter. Matt Abrahams, Stanford


Listen Later

Giving formal presentations is stressful. But there is another, more common type of communication that is as crucial for success: unscripted and uncontrollable situations like small talk at a networking event, an interview, a pitch, a sales presentation. 

Yet little has been written about spontaneous communication in business. Until now. In this episode, Matt Abrahams shares his six-step approach for speaking confidently and clearly when we don’t have a script. This allows us to focus on what matters: creating connections with those around you, getting your message across, and even enjoying the situation.  

Matt is the host of the popular podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart and author of a brand-new book Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You’re Put on the Spot.

He is one of the leading global experts in communication with decades of experience. As a lecturer at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, he teaches popular classes in strategic communication.
