The inner workings of social influence and persuasion.

Want to change someone’s mind? First, explains Robert Cialdini, you have to change their framing.

For Cialdini, the Regent's Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Marketing at Arizona State University, persuasion begins before we even deliver our pitch or presentation. Through what he calls “Pre-suasion,” communicators can prime audiences to receive messages in a specific way, simply by drawing their attention in specific directions. 

“It involves focusing people on—putting them in mind of—those motivators before they encounter [them] in the communicator’s message,” Cialdini says, “bringing people’s focus of attention onto something that is nested in the message…before that message is delivered, so they have been readied for the concept.”

In this episode, Matt Abrahams and Cialdini talk about the motivating power of FOMO, getting better advice from others, and how your next wine purchase could be influenced by what music is playing in the shop.

Why practice is the key to success.

If there’s anyone who knows about performing under pressure, it’s former NFL quarterback Andrew Luck. Whether playing in front of thousands or presenting to ten, his key to success is practice.

"There's a romantic notion that you rise to the occasion," says Luck, a Stanford graduate and four-time Pro Bowl selection. "But I think you settle to the level of your training. We practiced those high-pressure situations all the time.” From calling critical game-winning plays to navigating communication off the field, our performance in high-stakes situations, Luck maintains, is determined by our level of preparation.

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Luck and host Matt Abrahams explore how deliberate practice can help us hone our performance across all domains of our lives.  From managing high-pressure situations to building psychological safety in homes and workplaces, Luck shares insights gained from both sides of the field — as a player and now as a coach.

Mindfulness can transform your communication and your career.

When we react, our instincts and impulses are in the driver’s seat. But when we take the time to reflect, that’s when Marshall Goldsmith says we take back control of how we respond.

“​​​​Before speaking at work, breathe,” Goldsmith says. “Is my comment going to improve this other human being's commitment? At home, breathe. Is my comment going to improve this relationship with someone I love? If the answer is no, why am I saying it?”

As a world-renowned executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author, Goldsmith teaches how a mindful approach can change how we relate to others, to ourselves, and even to our career goals and ambitions. Through reflection, we identify our values, which we can use to live what Goldsmith calls an “earned life — when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives.”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Goldsmith joins host Matt Abrahams to explore practical strategies for bettering our interactions with others and ourselves, from his “feed forward” method for giving and receiving constructive critique to his "daily questions" practice, which prompts reflective self-inquiry to keep us focused on what truly matters.

"Start with the action moment or right before it," advises Hilary Price whose one-panel comic strips offer insights far beyond humor—they’re lessons in concise storytelling that resonate with anyone seeking to communicate effectively. “Simplify and amplify,” Price advises, emphasizing the art of clarity and impact. Every stroke of her pen strips away the unnecessary, letting the essentials shine through.
Creating her daily comic strip, Rhymes with Orange, Price starts with the game of “what if,” merging unexpected ideas to surprise and engage her readers. “You want to start at the action moment—or just before,” she notes, pointing out how the unsaid often speaks louder. Price extends this philosophy beyond cartoons: whether crafting a presentation, a joke, or a story, it’s essential to leave room for the audience to co-create meaning. “Don’t spoon-feed your readers,” she says. “The joy comes from not getting it, then getting it.”
In this bonus episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Price joins host Matt Abrahams to explore the power of surprise, stakes, and shared experience in storytelling—reminding us that the punchline, whether in humor or communication, is where the magic happens.

Turn any meeting or get-together into a chance for deep connection and collaboration.

Whether you’re holding a team meeting or hosting a family get-together, the success of any gathering, says Priya Parker, isn’t about the perfect agenda or venue, but about the intentionality behind how you bring people together.

“90% of the success of any gathering happens before anyone enters the room,” says Parker. As the author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters, and a strategic advisor who has helped organizations worldwide reimagine their gatherings, Parker believes that thoughtful preparation can turn any meeting, whether professional or personal, into a meaningful and memorable experience for all involved. “Intentionality is the first step,” she says, “to pause and ask: why are we doing this? What is the purpose? What is the need in this community or in this classroom or in this team?”

In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Parker joins Matt Abrahams to explore the art of meaningful gatherings, sharing practical strategies for everything from crafting invitations that prime engagement to designing powerful closings that leave a lasting impact. By being more thoughtful in bringing people together, we can transform ordinary meetings into extraordinary opportunities for connection and collaboration.

Podcast: Den Agile Agenda
Episode: Nej, SAFe er ikke agilt, men det er dyrt og nĂŚrmest umuligt at fĂĽ til at fungere.
Pub date: 2024-10-15

Lad os nu fĂĽ punkteret nogle af de sejlivede myter om SAFe

Her vover jeg pelsen, og tager fat i SAFe frameworket nok engang. Der er jo mange diskussioner i forskellige agile fora, der handler om, hvorvidt SAFe er agilt eller ej, og det er der mange holdninger til. Nu kaster jeg mine holdninger ind i diskussionen.

I de sidste mange ĂĽr har jeg brugt meget tid pĂĽ at analysere, hvordan de forskellige sĂĽkaldt agile tilgange virker. BĂĽde pĂĽ papiret og ude i virkeligheden. Jeg er nĂĽet til den konklusion af nej, SAFe er ikke agilt og skaber heller ikke agilitet.

I denne episode fortÌller jeg, hvordan jeg er nüet til den konklusion og hvorfor jeg mener, at SAFe er unødigt dyrt og tilmed nÌrmest umuligt at fü til at fungere.

Jeg indrømmer gerne, at jeg stikker nÌsen meget langt frem, og ved udmÌrket, at mange føler meget stÌrkt for SAFe. Jeg vil bare gerne parkere følelserne lidt og tage et nogenlunde objektivt og udogmatisk kig pü SAFe og hvad man egentlig kaster sig ud i, hvis man vÌlger at gü den vej.

Her i den Agile Agenda tager jeg jævnligt fat i nogle af de myter og vedtagne sandheder, som florerer i det agile landskab. I dette tilfælde er det myten om, at SAFe er den eneste vej, hvis men er stor eller skal skalere det agile. I forbindelse med en tidligere episode, som også handlede om SAFe, gravede jeg i hvad andre agile specialister mener om sagerne. Jeg ville nemlig gerne finde ud af, om jeg var ”Annette alene i verden”.

I mit gravearbejde dengang stødte jeg pü en hjemmeside, som faktisk har samlet en lÌngere rÌkke agile koryfÌers holdninger til SAFe. Den hjemmeside hedder: www.safedelusion.com, og her er der mange agile kendisser, der udtaler sig, ligesom du kan finde en rÌkke cases med eksempler pü store virksomheder, der valgte SAFe til, men senere er güet vÌk fra det igen, fordi resultaterne udeblev, eller simpelthen gav dürligere resultater, end man havde før.

Summa summarum, sĂĽ er mine konklusioner baseret pĂĽ mine mange ĂĽrs praktiske erfaring med agile transformationer og viden om agile systemer fuldstĂŚndig pĂĽ linje med de holdninger, som disse verdenskendte agile folk giver udtryk for.

Jeg vil lige understrege, at jeg ikke forsøger at overbevise nogen om, at de skal eller ikke skal arbejde med SAFe. Det vil jeg slet ikke blande mig i. Mit formül er alene at vÌre rationel og faktuel og opfordre til, at der kommer flere fakta og fÌrre følelser pü bordet, nür vi snakker agile tilgange.
