In the age of virtual communication, here's how to ensure your messages convey what you mean.Texts. Emails. Slacks. Zooms. We're communicating in more ways than ever, but Andrew Brodsky has a word of warning: Your virtual communication might be sending messages you're not aware of.Brodsky is the author of PING: The Secrets of Successful Virtual Communication. And as a professor of management at the University of Texas McCombs School of Business, he researches the impact of technology on workplace communication. “In virtual communication, there's often missing information,” he says. “As recipients of it, we're searching to fill in the gaps. The problem [is] that the recipient who's making these guesses is often guessing incorrectly.” As his research reveals, variables like typos, the time you schedule a meeting, and even your choice of email signature affect how your messages are received — and how you're perceived.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and Brodsky explore his PING framework (perspective-taking, initiative, nonverbal awareness, and goals) for mastering digital communication. From understanding when to choose email over a phone call to navigating cameras-on versus cameras-off meetings, he offers practical strategies for ensuring your virtual messages communicate exactly what you intend.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premiumEpisode Reference Links:Andrew BrodskyAndrew's Book: PingEp.31 Quick Thinks: How to Shine Online and Excel at Virtual Communication Ep.53 Step Up and Stand Out: How to Create the Right Environment for Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:34) - What Is Virtual Communication?

If I had a dollar for every time a nonprofit leader told me, “We don't really do branding,” I'd probably have a solid annual fund by now. Here's the truth: whether you mean to or not, you are branding your organization through every newsletter, event, social media post, and staff interaction. So the real question isn't if you're doing branding… It's how intentional you're being about it. In this video, I'm breaking down why consistent branding matters for nonprofits and how to get there without hiring a fancy agency. You'll learn: ✔ What “branding” actually means (it's more than your logo) ✔ Why consistency builds trust—with donors, funders, and your own team ✔ How to tighten up your brand across platforms without losing your mind ✔ Easy ways to get started—even if you're starting from scratch Branding shouldn't feel overwhelming or out of reach. You already have the heart—let's ensure your materials, messaging, and visuals reflect that.
Our return guest this week on the Faculty Factory Podcast is Adam D. Wolfe, MD, PhD. Dr. Wolfe shares with us some key communication strategies for better conflict resolution and team building, some of which can also assist with sharing life-altering information with patients in the clinic. The techniques outlined in this episode are designed to help prevent conflict and preserve interprofessional relationships when inevitable tensions arise. Dr. Wolfe is the Interim Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at CHRISTUS Children's, affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine in San Antonio, and is also the Associate Professor of Pediatrics and the Program Director of the Pediatric Residency Program. Additionally, he serves as the Assistant Dean of Medical Education and holds the Jann L. Harrison Endowed Chair in Pediatric Graduate Medical Education. “If you start with goals, you can often end a lot of conflict by simply restating what it is you're all trying to accomplish,” Dr. Wolfe said. Not only do many of the strategies outlined in the interview work well with professional colleagues at work, but these same principles often apply to when you're talking to families in a clinical situation, as we learn in the latter stages of this interview. “Do whatever you can to preserve your interpersonal relationships. If you are in conflict, think about how you can preserve that relationship so that person can remain available to you and you can remain available to them… it's what makes this work rewarding,” Dr. Wolfe added.

What if power didn't have to be loud—and grace was your secret strength? In this episode of Surviving Roots, host Cari Fund sits down with Julie Helms, global business leader and viral content creator, to explore what it really means to communicate with grace, lead with confidence, and set boundaries without losing your kindness. Julie shares her incredible journey from being the “Pitbull in Pumps” in the male-dominated oil & gas industry to becoming a powerful voice on composed communication and elegant authority. Together, we unpack how to stop walking on eggshells, what graceful strength looks like in real life, and how to handle everything from fubs (phone snubs) to backhanded compliments with confidence and composure.

If you've ever felt frustrated because it seems like people aren't listening when you speak, this episode is for you. Whether you're sharing an idea, giving an update, or making a recommendation — the way you speak sends tiny signals to your audience about how credible and trustworthy you are as a leader. When you send the right signals, your audience starts listening more closely, respecting your voice, and taking you more seriously. The good news? You don't need to be a super advanced or polished speaker to do this. In today's episode, I'm teaching you three easy, beginner-friendly shifts you can make in the way you communicate that will help you sound more credible, more confident, and more leader-like the next time you speak up. Once you learn these, you won't go back to your old way of communicating — they're that powerful. Grab the free Bias to Action worksheet here: https://jessguzikcoaching.com/biastoaction/

In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia welcome special guest Alta Grace Tan, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and family relationships. Together, they dive into the evolving dynamic between parents and their adult children, discussing the challenges of communication, independence, and setting healthy boundaries.The conversation covers how parents can support their kids without overstepping, why young adults still turn to their parents for advice, and how to maintain closeness despite different lifestyles and time zones. With humor, real-life stories, and expert insights from Grace, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the transition from childhood to adulthood within their family.TakeawaysParent-child dynamics evolve as kids transition into adulthood.Many young adults still turn to their parents for advice but struggle with balancing independence and reliance.Time zones, schedules, and life responsibilities can make communication between parents and kids more challenging.Parents often feel the urge to immediately solve their child's problems, but sometimes, kids need space to figure things out.The shift from dependence to independence requires mutual understanding and trust.Parents can help by using "I" statements instead of judgment to keep conversations open and supportive.Every family has a different communication style—some talk daily, while others check in monthly, and that's okay.Setting healthy boundaries is key to maintaining a strong relationship without overstepping.Shared experiences—whether traveling together or co-hosting a podcast—help maintain closeness despite different lifestyles.Love and support don't always mean agreement; it's about being there, even when perspectives differ.Chapters00:10 – Introducing Guest: Psychologist Alta Grace Tan01:12 – The Struggles of Parent-Child Communication in Adulthood02:42 – Finding Balance Between Independence & Seeking Advice06:15 – Why Parents Feel the Need to Solve Every Problem09:01 – How to Offer Support Without Overstepping12:00 – The Role of Boundaries in Parent-Adult Child Relationships14:23 – Using "I" Statements to Prevent Conflict17:26 – The Importance of Shared Experiences in Maintaining Closeness21:57 – How Often Should Parents & Kids Communicate?24:30 – Navigating Different Expectations for Communication27:41 – Final Thoughts & Advice for Strengthening RelationshipsHere is the website where you can request an appointment with Dr. Tan:https://alta-grace-tan.clientsecure.me/

In this episode, Ken Homer discusses the concept of Collaborative Conversations, a four-step model designed to enhance communication, build trust, and foster meaningful teamwork. Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) staff and multidisciplinary team (MDT) partners can apply this practical approach to collaborate more effectively. Tune in for helpful tips to strengthen teamwork and achieve better outcomes for children and families. Topics in this episode: Collective Intelligence (4:26) Collaborative Conversations Wheel (7:25) Shared Meaning (9:00) Exploring Possibilities (19:38) Coordinating Actions (26:08) Learning and Reflecting (36:47) Communication Tips (44:02) Navigating Conflict (46:18) GUEST: Ken Homer, PCC Trained as an Integral Coach with a background that includes a decade on the core team that developed the World Café dialogue process, Ken works at the intersection of individual, team, and organizational learning to open up new vistas of thinking while finding practical steps for effective action. Grounded, insightful, practical, and comprehensive, are a few of the adjectives that Ken's clients have used to describe him. He listens deeply to gain an understanding and checks to see if he is making accurate assessments before attempting to provide any guidance. Ken looks for simple modest steps that can be sustained over time to provide optimal returns. Ken believes that collaboration is an art form based on learnable skills. “How can we be smarter together and work in ways where we are all enriched or even ennobled by our efforts?” is the question at the heart of Ken's work. He works with both individuals and teams to identify where they are not getting the results they desire and then helps them to develop the competencies required to achieve their aims.

Whether leading people through a 15-minute meeting or a years-long pandemic, communication requires compassion. For Dr. Anthony Fauci, that means being clear about who we're speaking to and concise in what we say.As one of the world's leading experts in infectious diseases and public health, Fauci has been America's most trusted voice during the COVID-19 pandemic and other health crises. Whether addressing groups of fellow scientists and specialists or everyday people, his communication approach is the same. "Know your audience," he says. "Decide what your message is and make it crisp [and] clear."In addition to being clear about the known facts, Fauci advocates for equal transparency about the unknowns. "Be totally transparent into what you know and what you don't know," he says. "Transparency, honesty and a little bit of humility — let the audience know that you don't know everything."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fauci joins Matt Abrahams to discuss how leaders can communicate more effectively by staying focused on what matters most. From managing uncertainty to handling contentious interactions, they explore how clarity and transparency build trust and drive results.Thank you to our Sponsor Superhuman for offering the TFTS community one month free.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Anthony Fauci Dr. Fauci's Book: Expect the Unexpected Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:34) - Communication in Crisis (03:40) - Strategies for Building Trust (05:00) - Adapting Messages for Different Audiences (07:05) - Techniques for Effective Communication (08:32) - Managing High-Stakes Communication (10:20) - Addressing Misinformation (11:33) - Impromptu Speaking Skills (14:45) - Managing Conflict in Communication (15:51) - The Final Three Questions (19:42) - Conclusion ********Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium.Take advantage of our Sponsor offer from Superhuman

"Communication is the only task you cannot delegate." - Roberto Críspulo Goizueta. I love this quote and find its timely relevance in today's world of immediate gratification, where we are constantly distracted by noise from our cell phones, social media platforms, texting, etc. At the core, we have become so used to using automation tools that many of us have lost the skill of engaging the other person in the conversation to see how we can potentially help. Communication skills have become a lost art, and I believe it has made sales and communicating with our peers and clients more difficult. The reality is it's easier than you think to master this skill and make your life at work and home so much easier and smoother to get things done when everyone needed in the process is moving in the same direction. So how do we do this? Quickly become better at communicating. I always offer my Communication Style Assessment at the beginning of every show, and I have had thousands of people take the quiz, and the feedback is always the same. I hear, “I wish I had learned this skill when I started my career or business.” You get me for a solo episode about my CSA and how you can use it to easily leverage your communication style to move your business or career forward.

Introduction: In this enlightening episode, we dive into the complex and often humorous realities of modern dating and relationship dynamics. Chris Gillis, a seasoned relationship coach, brings a wealth of insights into how communication, emotional intelligence, and unspoken power dynamics shape our connections. From discussing passive aggression to addressing personal growth in relationships, this conversation is packed with wisdom on how to foster stronger, more fulfilling partnerships. Main Takeaways: Communication is a Superpower: Clear expectations prevent resentment and foster appreciation. Non-Negotiables Are Essential: Knowing your values creates stronger, more balanced relationships. Self-Worth Drives Connection: Confidence in one's value encourages healthier dynamics. Main Topics with Timestamps: Passive Aggression and Resentment in Relationships (18:05) Clear communication about roles and expectations prevents the build-up of silent frustrations. Acknowledging effort, whether in taking out the trash or showing affection, builds goodwill and reduces scorekeeping. Quote: "Expectations are resentments waiting to happen." Explanation: Without clear boundaries, partners unknowingly set themselves up for conflict. Expressing gratitude and proactively defining roles strengthens mutual respect. Non-Negotiables and Relationship Dynamics (31:42) Establishing core values early in a relationship creates a foundation for trust and growth. Gillis emphasizes the importance of choosing a partner who shares your commitment to personal development. Quote: "The guy I want to be with values learning and growing for himself." Explanation: Prioritizing growth-oriented partners cultivates mutual support and ensures both individuals thrive, reducing the likelihood of stagnation. The Role of Self-Worth in Online and Offline Dating (47:19) The Gini coefficient analogy reveals how perceptions of inequality manifest in dating apps. Confidence in self-worth and uniqueness cuts through the noise of competition. Quote: "We teach others how to value us by how we value ourselves." Explanation: Embracing self-worth reshapes interactions, fostering authentic and fulfilling connections in the face of modern dating challenges. Notable Quotes: "Believing your partner can is the first step to true collaboration." "Generosity in spirit keeps a relationship thriving, even in the face of challenges." "Resentment comes from unspoken expectations—communication is the cure." ✅Visit Our Website ➜ https://marnibattista.com/ ✅How to Eliminate Burnout: How to use the Radical Living Blueprint to Reinvent Your Life ➜https://burnoutsolutions.training/ ✅Follow Us On Social Media ➜https://www.instagram.com/marnibattista_ ➜https://www.tiktok.com/@datingwithdignity ✅Ready To Take Control Of Your Life?

We all want to come across in a way that moves our listeners to action, show up with confidence, and get what we want. Use these tips to persuade in the best way possible.Be Clear: Get to the point, use the BLUF principle: Bottom Line Up Front, and don't ramble on and get off on tangents.Be Compelling: Speak with authority, use vocal variety, tell stories, use examples and data points to grab your audience's attention.Be Credible: Avoid using filler words like “um” and “ah.” and pause to show control and calm. Avoid “upspeak,” which is when you speak with a question mark rather than a period. Make sure to use punctuation - exactly like you do in the written word.Listen for examples and more stories to demonstrate these principles.Some resources for you:My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videos Karen Laos, Communication Expert and Confidence Cultivator, leverages 25 years in the boardroom and speaking on the world's most coveted stages such as Google and NASA to transform missed opportunities into wins.
