TRANSCRIPT

Welcome to talk about talk episode #102. This episode is different from any other talk about talk episode you’ve ever heard. You’re going to hear a recording of a live Q&A; that I did a few months ago. Youre going to hear my unscripted answers to unscripted questions about everything from how to deal with a difficult boss, to how to improve your communication if you’re a shy introvert, to lots of networking advice, including what to say when you’re re-entering the workforce after mat leave!, and how to ask for feedback

 

This Q&A; was recorded live from The Fishbowl app. Have you heard of Fishbowl? Fishbowl is a platform for professionals where they can have honest career conversations. You access Fishbowl from your phone and you can choose from thousands of Industry, Community or Company Bowls (or Groups) to have honest conversations with other verified professionals that are working in roles and industries similar to your own.

 

The conversations on the Fishbowl app are in the form of questions and answers. You post a Q to a bowl and random fishbowl members will type their answers. It’s an incredibly supportive environment.

And I’m glad I did.  It was great fun and I had the opportunity to hear real communication skills Qs from a live audience of over 750 professionals. Yah. SO there were well over 750 FishBowl members in attendance, raising Qs, which Maye moderated and asked me.  Live.   

 

It turned out so well that I asked the Fishbowl folks if I could get a copy of the audio file so I could turn it into a podcast episode.  And VOILA, here we are!

 

A few things you need to know:

The audio is definitely comprehensible, but if you hear a few glitches it’s because we aren’t on fancy microphones, its all through our smartphones and via wifi. So there are glitches. But you’ll easily be able to understand everything,

 

Also, you wont hear a summary at the end of this episode, because the answers to each of the Qs are relatively succinct.  Like I said, this episode is different from any other. But like other TAT podcast episodes, you can always go to the shownotes for this episode on the TAT.com website and reference relevant links and the transcrip...
