8 分钟Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, she's tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
All of us are moving towards more virtual communication.
That is a shift in context that's going to change the way people understand you, the way people experience you.
You cannot engage in exactly the same behavior and assume that you're going to get exactly the same results if the context shifts.
It's been more than a year since we went from spending time in meeting rooms and long commutes to meeting over zooms and accidentally staying on mute.
As GSB associate Dean Brian Lowry just implied, we need to adjust our communication and presence to make sure we get the results we want.
My name is Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to this quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, talk Smart, the podcast.
In this episode, we're bringing you some of the best advice we've received from guests on how to be more successful in your professional and personal life when communicating virtually, attention is the most valuable commodity we have in the world today.
More valuable than money, more valuable than bitcoin, and even more valuable than GameStop stock.
When communicating virtually, you need to work hard to both gain and maintain attention and focus.
It's all about being relevant and engaging.
Here are a few tips from Professors Tina Seligman, Bob Sutton, and Sarah Sewell on how to keep your audience interested.
I think it's really important to change up activities really quickly.
Like every ten to 15 minutes, I almost feel it's almost like Sesame street, you know, every ten to 15 minutes you need to change, you know, watching a video, to doing an activity, to breaking into small groups.
