13 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, shes 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.
Hello, im Matt Abrahams.
I teach strategic communication at Stanfords Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart.
The podcast having to communicate in a language other than our native tongue can be quite a challenge.
I have the utmost respect for the non native English speaking students and clients that I teach and coach.
I know that I struggle at times to speak in English, let alone a foreign language.
There are some specific tactics and approaches non native speakers can use to handle in the moment challenges that arise, as well as advice and tips that they can follow to improve their fluency.
During this episode, we will speak with Ken Romeo about these specific tactics and strategies.
Ken is the associate director for the Stanford Language center and he teaches in the Stanford Continuing Studies program.
Ken on a daily basis deals with the issues and challenges that non native english speakers have, and we're looking forward to getting the advice and guidance that you have.
Ken, I'm delighted to have you join me today.
You and I have known each other for a number of years.
Thanks for being here and sharing your expertise.
So let's start at a foundational level.
