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.

When you're nervous, I think you feel like everyone's watching you.
I have to rush.
This is so embarrassing, but time is moving slower than you think.
If you need a moment to think, just take a beat.
I'm Matty Brahams, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.
Being put on the spot and needing to respond is incredibly challenging and nerve-wracking.
If you think about it, though, most of our communication is just like this.
It's spontaneous, answering questions, making small talk, giving feedback, fixing our mistakes.
