Some conversations are uncomfortable, but avoiding them comes with a cost.You want a more successful career, a more fulfilling relationship, a more meaningful life? What if all that's standing in your way — are the conversations that you're avoiding?“Most things that we want in life are on the other side of a difficult conversation,” says Jenn Wynn, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business and previously the director of education at the Obama Foundation. For nearly 10 years, she has taught a course on difficult conversations that equips people to communicate through discomfort in pursuit of what they want. “Sometimes it's a difficult conversation with a loved one, a colleague, a boss… sometimes it's a difficult conversation with myself,” she says. “Are you going to give up on your biggest dreams because you weren't willing to step out of your comfort zone?”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wynn and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build the “hard but worth-it skills” necessary for difficult communication. Whether it's asking for a raise, setting boundaries, or addressing conflict, Wynn's insights show that the conversations you're avoiding aren't just holding you back — they're keeping you from the life you really want.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Jenn WynnThe H.I.

Are your students' math struggles rooted in what they know—or how they feel about math?If your math learners seem disengaged, anxious, or convinced they're just “not math people,” you're not alone—and it's not a curriculum issue.

In this episode, Liesl McConchie shares how understanding the brain's emotional wiring can transform the way we teach. You'll hear why math identity is formed earlier than you think, how to create a learning environment that feels psychologically safe, and what small shifts can lead to major breakthroughs in confidence and engagement. By listening, you'll discover:Why emotions are always the gateway to deeper mathematical thinkingHow to identify and rewire negative math identities through simple classroom activitiesA powerful 10-minute “Mathland” activity to reveal how your students truly perceive mathPress play now to learn how brain science can help you create a math class students feel safe in—and excited to come back to.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

"AI is in the minds of a lot of people right now and naturally with such big technological shift, you find that there is a big skill gap. You know, there is companies demanding skills in this area, and yet naturally in the marketplace, they might have difficulty finding that skills that is required for companies. So, you know, job seekers need to be a lot more conscious in terms of how they are equipping themselves. One of the things is that LinkedIn courses are there [to help]. I always talk about the three affirmative actions that you can do. One is making sure that you are fluent in this area. I think what are the things that you can do to actually get your hands on all these tools so that you become fluent in just playing around with the tool and making sure that you feel comfortable. The second area that I advise people is to make sure that you feel that you have the agency to master your destiny. The third thing will be to take action. If you have learned all these skills, find a way to showcase it and find a way to actually talk about it so that you are, you can actually surface your capabilities in this space." - Feon Ang Fresh out of the studio, Feon Ang, Managing Director of LinkedIn Asia Pacific, joins us to explore how the platform is transforming professional networking and career development across the region's 343 million members.

Legitimate professional development for teachers is necessary. I used the term ‘legitimate' to exclude programs and services that are profit-based. These are usually little more than infomercials disguised as professional development. Here, there is no check and balance. There is no blind peer review of the information provided. Only the information that supports their product or service is presented. Information that does not is not. The best example of this is LETRS professional development for teachers. As described in earlier chapters, there is no legitimate research provided to suggest that using LETRS (a) enhances students' reading achievement, (b) enhances teachers' ability to teach effectively, and (c) is more effective than other types of professional development. (Remember, having elements that are supported by research doesn't make the program research-based. Every program has some element that can be supported by research.)

Christine's systematic approach begins with the "number one priority test" (identifying resources you'd pay for personally), moves to immediate commitments like fall conference registrations and organizational memberships, then productivity tools and resources such as specialized software or methodology training, and concludes with strategic remainder spending on non-expiring resources like coaching hours or PDF guides, emphasizing the critical importance of spending allocated funds before potential budget clawbacks while prioritizing investments that directly advance scholarly productivity and writing progress.

When communicating with their employees, most firms have no idea who they're talking to.Good communication is about knowing your audience. But if your organization is only focused on knowing your customers, James Root says you're forgetting a whole other cohort: your employees.Root is a senior partner at Bain & Company, Chair of Bain Futures, and author of The Archetype Effect, in which he reveals a simple but overlooked truth: people want different things from their jobs. Despite this, most companies' approach to employee motivation and reward is one-size-fits-all. “Every aspect of the standard organization model is built around this idea of the average worker,” he says. The problem? No average worker exists. “What people want from work is highly varied,” he says, and while many organizations spend millions to learn what drives their customers, “The mystery is why haven't we applied that same thinking to our workers?"In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Root and host Matt Abrahams explore how firms can transform organizational success by understanding their internal audience. Whether you're trying to attract new talent or encourage better performance from the team you already have, Root's research shows why it's about knowing your audience — recognizing that different people are motivated by fundamentally different things at work.Episode Reference Links:James RootJames' Book: The Archetype EffectThe Archetype QuizEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across GenerationsEp.104 How to Change: Building Better Habits and Behaviors (And Getting Out of Your Own Way) 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 (02:21) - The Evolving Nature of Work (05:21) - Leading Multigenerational Teams (08:50) - The Six Archetypes Explained (13:55) - The Archetypes Evolution (19:33) - The Final Three Question (22:51) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

“Every contact leaves a trace.” That's not just a principle from forensic science, it's a profound truth about leadership, about life, and about the influence we carry every day, often without realizing it.In this episode, I sit down with Paul Kinkaid former senior British Army officer, global speaker, bestselling author, and Executive Leadership Coach to explore what he calls Forensic Leadership. Paul brings a lifetime of experience leading elite teams in the most challenging environments across 44 countries, and now works with high-performing leaders and teams who know they're doing well… but believe they can do better.What if the legacy of your leadership isn't found in KPIs or formal appraisals, but in the invisible marks you leave on the people around you?What if, in every conversation, meeting, or moment of silence you were leaving red traces or green ones?So as you listen today, ask yourself:Are you leading with intention or simply reacting?Are you leaving behind green traces or red ones?And more importantly… would you follow you?This is a conversation that may not give you all the answers but it will challenge you to ask better questions.connect wit Paul HEREACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD HAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSend us a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.
