Titles in Collection & Description
''Filled with practical, tactical advice, this book is indispensable'' – Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor
In this practical guide, Matt Abrahams, Stanford University lecturer and host of the #1 business podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart, provides a six-point methodology to help you manage anxiety, find the right words and communicate effectively when you’re put on the spot.
Communication is essential in both life and business, but some of the most important moments happen without warning. Whether answering an unexpected question during a sales pitch, speaking in a high-pressure meeting, responding in class or delivering an impromptu toast, these situations can cause even confident speakers to freeze.
Think Faster, Talk Smarter reveals practical techniques for thinking clearly under pressure, organising your ideas quickly and delivering calm, crisp and compelling communication. An engaging resource for anyone looking to speak with greater confidence, share their ideas and communicate effectively when it matters most.
