Matt Abrahams teaches Stanford’s Essentials of Strategic Communication, the university’s most popular communication course. His “Think Fast. Talk Smart” talks and podcast have earned over 80 million views and listens. And the first thing he told us is that the instinct to get it perfect is the exact thing making us worse.
Not just at presentations. At everything. Meetings, hard conversations, even arguments with your partner about toothpaste. (He'll explain that one.)
This is also a special episode: Connor is joined by his co-founder and co-CEO of Merit America, Rebecca Taber Staehelin. Matt coaches them both live through a high-stakes all-hands that almost went sideways and feedback that made Rebecca rethink how she'd been communicating for years.
They also get into what to do when your mind goes completely blank in front of your team, a trick that kills fights with your partner before they start, and why most of the time we think someone didn't listen to us — the real problem is we never checked if they understood.

Beschreibung

What if the most interesting thing about work isn’t what we do—but what it does to us?
Is This Working?! dives into meaningful work and the messy humans who do it. As AI reshapes industries and upends old definitions of success, social entrepreneur and Stanford GSB lecturer Connor Diemand-Yauman talks with extraordinary people about both sides of the story: the outer work (what they built, how they pivoted, the tactics that actually worked) and the inner work(the therapy, the doubt, the failure) it took to get there.
Because when the world is changing this fast, maybe these stories are the only way to know if any of this is actually working.
