Stanford lecturer and host of the #1 business podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams, reveals the secrets to finding the right words when it counts.
Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical, spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.
A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch, a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown, and then changing the communication landscape.
In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to cut through the anxiety arising from these stressful, impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and calm communication.
Think Faster, Talk Smarter is an energetic, engaging resource for anyone who wants to speak out, spread their ideas, and ultimately share their story.
When you purchase this title, an accompanying PDF will be available in your audiobook library along with the audio.

Communication is both art and science and this book clearly explains that. Though it doesn’t do it in that format, it clearly gives us the ticks and tips on managing how you communicate - better ! One bit that I do t like is the aspect of acronyms. Every theory need not be an acronym and one key aspect is number of steps. If for a task you need to follow are more than 3 steps we usually lose the path or don’t remember it long enough. And in this book there are so many times more than 3 guiding steps are put across. That is my first red flag on a book on communicating impact fully. Nevertheless this is a good reference one if you speak publicly. And in most cases you are.
