  • 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.

  • Regardless of if you're speaking in a classroom or a boardroom, if you're pitching or presenting, each of us has important stories to tell, input to give, and messages to share.

  • Without communication from multiple perspectives, we miss out on valuable, needed ideas and insight.

  • On this episode, I am so excited to discuss how we can all encourage, support, and reinforce diverse, equitable communication.

  • I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

  • Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast.

  • Today I am thrilled to be joined by Sarah Sewell, the Morgridge professor of organizational behavior and senior associate dean for academic affairs at the GSB.

  • Sarah's research focuses on organizational theory, social movements, and political sociology.

  • She is a thought leader and driver for diversity, equity and inclusion work at Stanford and beyond.

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah on several different projects and I have seen firsthand her passionate, collaborative and creative approach to teaching and managing.

  • Welcome Sarah.

  • Thank you Matt, and thanks for having me to be part of the podcast.

  • It's great to have you here and I have so many different topics I want to discuss with you.
