  • 149. Best of: How to Take Risks in Your Communication, Relationships, and Career
    2024/07/02
    “What people regret over time are things they didn’t do. They didn’t take that trip, they didn’t ask that person out on a date. They didn’t start that business,” says former political speechwriter and author Dan Pink. “I think it’s because we are slightly over-indexed on risk. We overstate the risk in many circumstances.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, strategic communications lecturer Matt Abrahams sits down with Pink to hear how we can take more risks and how leaders can inspire others by focusing on the why instead of the how. “There’s almost incontrovertible evidence that a sense of purpose is the most cost-effective performance enhancer that organizations have,” Pink says.Episode Reference Links:Dan Pink: WebsiteDan’s Books: Website Original Episode: Ep.92 No Regrets: How to Take Risks in Your Communication, Relationships, and Career Website / YouTubeEp.103 Simple Is a Superpower: How to Communicate Any Idea to Any Audience Website / YouTube Ep.80 Magic Words: Change What You Say to Inspire and Influence Others Website / YouTubeConnect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Dan Pink, a NYT bestselling author and former political speechwriter.(00:01:17) Lessons from Political SpeechwritingInsights from Dan’s experience as a political speechwriter.(00:03:58) Speak Like a HumanThe necessity of authentic communication and the power of speaking naturally and directly.(00:07:57) The Role of Immediacy in CommunicationHow immediacy can enhance connection and engagement in communication.(00:09:24) Problem Finding vs. Problem-SolvingThe value of identifying hidden problems in persuasive communication and sales.(00:11:21) Understanding and Harnessing PurposeHow purpose enhances motivation and performance in work and life.(00:15:11) Communication, Risk, and RegretThe impact of perceived versus actual risk in communication and decision-making.(00:20:16) Timing and Breaks for Enhanced PerformanceOptimizing performance through strategic timing and the importance of taking breaks.(00:22:41) The Final Three QuestionDan shares communication advice, a communicator he admires, and three ingredients for successful communication.(00:25:39) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • 148. Conviction and Compassion: How to Have Hard Conversations
    2024/06/25
    In our personal and professional lives, some conversations are harder than others. To navigate the difficulties of discussing what matters most, Professor Irv Grousbeck says we need the right balance of conviction and compassion.At both Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford School of Medicine, Grousbeck teaches courses on managing difficult conversations. He equips students with skills to be direct while being respectful, to be strong while being warm, and to resist any urge to beat around the bush. "Directness, with respect, is essential,” he says. "So many of our students feel that if you're direct with someone, somehow that's harsh. The art of good conversation management, I think, does involve directness and respect at the same time."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Grousbeck and host Matt Abrahams explore practical tips and strategies for navigating difficult conversations, from the importance of listening and pausing, to the value of rehearsing your words in advance.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Profile: H.
