Over the years,
we've shared advice from my Stanford colleagues on how to be more confident and compelling in your communication.
You might remember Kelly McGonigal sharing ways to harness your anxiety to help you feel empowered.
Stanford faculty contributes to the world in many other ways.
I was really impressed by Stanford medicine's Michelle Mange and Crystal Makle,
who led a clinical trial that could revolutionize the treatment of a lethal and incurable pediatric cancer that attacks children's brains and spinal cords.
Michelle and Crystal's team reprogram the sick kids' immune systems to fight the tumors.
This improved their symptoms and shrank the tumors for most patients.
Exciting breakthroughs like these seem to happen every day at Stanford.

You know, the overthinkers make mistakes at the same rate as the people that are quick to pull a trigger.
It just takes them longer to make the mistakes because they're overthinking it.
I'm Matt Ibrahims and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to this spontaneous speaking, think fast, talk smart mini-series.
I want you to think back to the last time you were put on the spot.
Your boss asked you a question.
A friend wanted advice.
You had to make small talk or maybe just introduce yourself.
How did it feel?
