No matter how prepared you are heading into a job interview, it's almost inevitable you're going to feel a bit nervous, especially when it comes to being put on the spot! This anxiety can often be one of the biggest barriers to doing yourself justice in an interview.

In this episode, Sarah talks to Matt Abrahams who is a lecturer at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and author of the game-changing book, "Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You’re Put on the Spot."

Whether it's acing that unexpected question in an interview or making a lasting impression at work, Matt believes ANYONE can learn to be a brilliant communicator.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Karo who bought us 20 coffees! "Hello there! Just a note and 20 coffees to say 'thank you' is just not enough! I am an almost 40 year old with 2 university degrees and 6 years of c-suite level management experience. I don't think I am your target audience, but you helped me just the same. Your podcast on Spotify supported my interview process as I transitioned from self employed management consultant to a regional director of a national not for profit. I felt rusty, like an imposter, and needed guidance. As someone who is accustomed to providing this support to others, it felt uncomfortable at first, but your professional, warm, down to earth coaching was just what I needed on dog walks and in the car when driving to work. Thank you so much for helping me, for free, at a time that I really needed it, Sending love from Turtle Island. Thank you for all that you do!"
