Our words, actions and even our presence can profoundly affect other people, but we often misread the situation or underestimate ourselves. Emotions and cognitive biases often get in the way.Through extensive behavioral research and workplace study, Vanessa Bohns — the Cornell ILR School's Braunstein Family Professor and chair of the organizational behavior department — has developed strategies for us to better observe our influence, reconsider our fear of rejection and sometimes even use our influence more sparingly. Bohns, the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” encourages us to recognize the influence we already possess rather than seeking new ways to gain it.What You'll LearnHow to be more mindful and present in your interactions with othersHow to get better at asking for thingsHow to get better at saying noHow to recognize and harness our influence for good by building stronger relationships and creating more supportive environmentsThe Cornell Keynotes podcast is brought to you by eCornell, which offers more than 200 online certificate programs to help professionals advance their careers and organizations.

A double definition of happiness — and how to cultivate both parts.The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.There's no one-size-fits-all approach to happiness, but according to Laurie Santos, everyone needs the two key components of contentment and fulfillment — or as she puts it, being happy in your life and happy with your life.“Being happy in your life [means] your life is filled with joy,” explains Santos, a Yale psychology professor and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. This felt sense of happiness — enjoying where we are, what we do, and who we're with — is essential, but it's not the only piece of the puzzle. Being happy with your life, she says, is the belief that “your life is going well. Being happy with your life gets closer to things like fulfillment and purpose.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Santos joins Matt Abrahams to explore how to cultivate both sides of her happiness equation, from building deeper connections with others to transforming the ways we communicate with ourselves.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In this insightful episode, we dive into developing your Interpersonal skills through DEI, Communication and Emotional Intelligence, with Kimberly West. In this episode of #UpYourConfidence, we dive into the critical elements of developing interpersonal skills with a focus on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), effective communication, and emotional intelligence (EQ). We explore practical strategies for cultivating a mindset that not only empowers us individually but also challenges systemic barriers.  Key Topics Discussed: 1. Understanding DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)    - We start by discussing the fundamental goals of DEI and its impact on society. DEI is not just a set of principles—it's a framework for dismantling inequitable systems and building fair opportunities across communities. 2. Breaking Down Privilege and Understanding Responsibility    - This section addresses the concept of privilege and the responsibilities that come with it. Recognizing privilege is crucial for effective allyship and meaningful DEI work. 3. Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset    - Many people are conditioned by a scarcity mindset, especially when it comes to resources and opportunities. We discuss how shifting to an abundance mindset can foster collaboration over competition, particularly in communities that have been marginalized. 4. Recognizing and Addressing Microaggressions    - Microaggressions are subtle yet harmful interactions often stemming from stereotypes. Learn how to recognize, address, and prevent these in everyday interactions to create a more inclusive environment. 5. Navigating Conversations About Race with Children    - This topic covers how parents and educators can approach conversations about race and inclusion with younger generations, particularly in shaping Gen Z's understanding of diversity. 6. Generation Z and the Future of Inclusion    - Gen Z is poised to be one of the most diverse generations, bringing unique perspectives on race and inclusivity. We discuss how they are influencing the future of DEI and what this means for dismantling outdated systems. 7. Self-Affirmation and Building Confidence    - We explore the power of self-affirmation and positive reinforcement to build personal confidence and resilience, especially when navigating spaces that may feel exclusionary. 8 Imposter Syndrome as a Social Construct    - We discuss imposter syndrome and how it's often rooted in societal expectations and biases. By understanding it as a social construct, we can take steps to overcome it and build lasting self-assurance. Are you ready to build your confidence by embracing DEI, improving your communication skills, and strengthening your emotional intelligence?

Cindy Esliger addresses the inevitability of workplace conflict by differentiating between using discernment over judgment to navigate the tension. Since workplaces are comprised of people and people each have their own struggles and lives going on unseen, tension is inevitable. Not taking things personally and approaching conflict with a desire to listen and get to the core issue are some of the strategies Cindy encourages us to adopt. As strange as it may seem to the conflict-avoidant, challenges aren't just inevitable, they're necessary. Challenges drive us to push the envelope, innovate, and keep the office interesting. It's how we go about disagreeing with each other that needs attention, not the fact that we do disagree. Cindy offers advice on how to step back from reacting personally to things that simply aren't personal and instructs us on how to approach healthy conflict that seeks true resolution. Leadership requires dealing with storms head-on. Tension must be acknowledged and the root cause must be unearthed so the tension can ultimately become a tool for growth. Leaders must learn how to address issues rather than letting them fester but also how to work for truth in resolution rather than rush to smooth things over with false comfort. Cindy guides us through learning discernment in conflict and holding back judgment until we can truly understand what a conflict is about. Her advice makes conflict less of a terrifying notion and more of an opportunity to learn. Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Reckoning With TensionAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

As I continue to bridge the gap in research to the therapy room, I also see deficits in pre-service training that can make therapy a better experience for both providers and families.Jessica Rohrer, BCBA-D, joins me to discuss her work with soft skills, using tools to measure and build compassion skills in the therapy room. Her research uses the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy, a tool primarily used to check compassion in the medical field, as a pre and post measurement on the impact of compassionate skills training. Dr. Rohrer developed the Compassionate Collaboration Tool as a checklist for provider self-reflection and a helpful next step to incorporating compassion skills in their therapy. The tool focuses on three skill sets in providers. Basic interview skills: introductions, note taking, nodding, and back channeling.Interest skills: asking and reflecting positivity on client interests and asking and reflecting caregiver priorities.Joining with the family: empathy statements, normalizing skills, and partnering skills.It can be easy to forget the emotional time our clients and their families may be experiencing when entering therapy, which is why it is crucial to focus on empathy and compassion in our basic skills for a positive experience. New clinicians may particularly experience more difficulty. If you're looking for next steps to include compassion in your therapy, Dr. Rohrer reminds you to self-monitor and reflect, consider group behavior skills training, and remember that every client and every family will have varying needs for compassion.#autism #speectherapyWhat's Inside:Bridging the gap in research in the therapy room. Why are compassion skills important in ABA?Tools for measuring and reflecting on soft skills.Next steps for incorporating compassion skills into your everyday therapy.Mentioned In This Episode:Soft Skills: The Case for Compassionate Approaches or How Behavior Analysis Keeps Finding Its Heart(PDF) Teaching Compassion Skills to Students of Behavior Analysis: A Preliminary InvestigationJoin the ABA SPEECH Connection Membership

But, there are ways that we can get better at this and limit these moments from happening. DISCLAIMER - It's OK to sit in silence.

According to Celine Teoh, we all need to ask ourselves that question more often — and be more precise in how we answer it.Teoh is a facilitator of the course Interpersonal Dynamics, one of Stanford Graduate School of Business's most iconic classes. In her work with students and as a CEO coach, Teoh encourages people to get better acquainted with their feelings. “Feelings are data,” she says. “In the rest of our logical lives, we would never make decisions on bad or highly abstract data. But we'll do that with feelings.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart: The Podcast, Teoh and host Matt Abrahams discuss how developing greater emotional awareness can help us achieve more agency and empathy in our personal and professional lives.Think Fast, Talk Smart is a podcast produced by Stanford Graduate School of Business.

We don't stumble into being good at things. Sure - there's raw talent. But, after a few curveballs get thrown into the mix then we need to reach beyond talent into experience and skill. Communication is one of the cornerstones of a happy life. Our business, personal, and relational growth is limited by our ability to articulate what we're experiencing. Opportunities slide away from us as we miss a chance to speak up. Relationships linger longer than needed since we don't know what words will get us out of them. In this episode, I want to explore what being a great communicator takes - and how to start from scratch. An easy way to send me a message?

The ways supercommunicators operate and how to emulate their techniques.Across more than 130 episodes, Think Fast, Talk Smart has touched a lot on what it takes to be a good communicator. But what about reaching that next level? What about being a “supercommunicator”? Supercommunicator is a term used by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author Charles Duhigg in his latest book, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. In this podcast episode, Abrahams and Duhigg explore the precise techniques that distinguish a good communicator from a “supercommunicator:” traits such as active listening; looping for understanding to demonstrate genuine engagement; and identifying what someone is truly feeling, underneath what they actually say.Episode Reference Links:Charles Duhigg: WebsiteCharles Duhigg: BooksDuhigg's New Yorker articleThalia Wheatley's research study: The Repurposed Social Brain Nicholas Epley's research paper: Overly Shallow?: Miscalibrated Expectations Create a Barrier to Deeper ConversationAlison Wood Brooks' research paper: The Conversational Circumplex: Identifying, Prioritizing, and Pursuing Informational and Relational Motives in ConversationMichael Yeomans' research paper: It Helps to Ask: The Cumulative Benefits of Asking Follow-Up QuestionsSheila Heen's research project: Harvard Negotiation ProjectEp.92 - No Regrets: How to Take Risks: YouTube / Website Ep.82 - It's Not About You: Why Effective Communicators Put Others First: YouTube / Website Ep.103 - Simple is a Superpower: How to Communicate Any Idea to an Audience: YouTube / WebsiteConnect: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 Charles Duhigg and his new book Super Communicators.(00:01:26) Transition from Habits to CommunicationDuhigg shares how personal experiences and a desire to understand human interactions motivated him to explore communication.(00:02:51) The Neuroscience of Connection The neuroscience behind successful communication and the role of neural entrainment in establishing connection and understanding.(00:04:21) Storytelling as a Powerful Communication ToolThe importance of storytelling in communication and how stories foster empathy and engagement.(00:06:16) Identifying and Aligning Conversation Types Three types of conversations (practical, emotional, social) and the necessity of aligning conversation types for effective communication.(00:08:07) Practices of Super Communicators Insights into the habits of super communicators, including their approach to recognizing conversation types and the importance of deep listening.(00:15:02) Navigating Conflict Through Effective Communication Managing conflictual conversations with a focus on listening, understanding, and managing control dynamics.(00:20:50) Challenges of Online Communication Challenges and strategies for communicating in online and virtual settings.(00:25:04) The Craft and Impact of StorytellingApproaches to storytelling and its significance in making complex ideas memorable and engaging.(00:29:06) Developing New Communication Habits New communication habits developed from Duhigg's research and their impact on personal and professional interactions.(00:31:02) The Final Three QuestionsCharles Duhigg discusses the importance of deep questions, the communicator he most admires, and his recipe for successful communication.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Introduction:Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your message felt lost in translation? Despite your best efforts, your words just didn't seem to have the impact you intended? We've all been there. In a world where attention spans are getting shorter, it's becoming increasingly challenging to ensure that our ideas are not only heard but also understood and embraced by others. But fear not! In this blog post, we will explore the superpower of clarity and communication and how it can help you build stronger, more meaningful connections in all areas of your life.The Impact of Clarity:In today's fast-paced world, where distractions abound, attention spans are indeed getting shorter. Your ability to communicate with clarity has never been more crucial. Whether you're at work, presenting a new idea, leading a team, or trying to get your family to help out around the house, the clarity and intention behind your words can dramatically influence the outcome of your interactions. Clear communication helps eliminate misunderstandings, fosters productivity, and builds trust among individuals.Introducing Dr. Pam Hurley:To delve into the labyrinth of effective communication, we are fortunate to have Dr. Pam Hurley as our guide. Dr. Hurley is the president and founder of  Hurley Write, with a Ph.D. in technical communications. She has shared her wisdom at esteemed institutions like Duke, George Washington University, and UNC Wilmington. Dr. Hurley's expertise in this area offers a lighthouse for those striving to be more precise and purposeful in our communications.Understanding the Challenges:One of the common challenges faced by professionals is the lack of writing standards and guidance. Communication is often taught with a trial-and-error approach, leading to confusion on how to effectively convey a message. Without clear standards, writers struggle to hit a moving target, trying to communicate in different tones, styles, and voices. This lack of clarity not only affects the writers but also hampers the efficiency and productivity of the entire organization.The Need for Individual Improvement:Individuals play a crucial role in honing their writing skills and overcoming the challenges of unclear communication. It starts with understanding the audience and their preferences. Knowing the audience helps tailor the message in a way that resonates with them. Additionally, setting clear goals and outcomes for each communication piece assists in maintaining focus and providing a direction for the writing process. Practicing daily writing and reading habits sharpens the skills required for effective communication.Bringing Levity to the Process:The process of writing and receiving feedback can be intimidating. However, adopting a problem-solving mindset, critical thinking, and practicing free writing can alleviate some stress and frustrations. Free writing allows the brain to release and explore ideas that might not have emerged through linear thinking. Embracing a structured approach while still being open to creativity can make the writing process more enjoyable and less arduous.Preparing for Feedback:Feedback plays a crucial role in improving communication skills. Organizations need to set the right culture and encourage reviewers to provide constructive feedback that balances praise with constructive criticism. Reviewers should provide specific guidelines and expectations for writers, enabling them to refine their communication techniques. A culture where writers and reviewers work as partners fosters growth and effectiveness in communication Support the showDid you have any lightbulb moments while listening?
