AI is changing how we work, think, and communicate.

As these tools become more capable, knowing how to use them effectively matters more than ever.

I'm Matt Abrahams, and I teach Strategic Communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Welcome to this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.

We're opening up the vault to revisit my conversation with Stanford professor Russ Altman.

Listen in as we explore how AI can help us communicate more clearly, sharpen our thinking, and solve problems more effectively while reminding us why human judgment,

curiosity, and connection remain essential.

Welcome, Russ.

I'm a big fan of your podcast

and really enjoyed the opportunity we had earlier today where I was a guest on your show.

Thanks so much.

Thanks for having me.

I share enthusiasm for this podcast and it's kind of a thrill.

I think it might be my first podcast as a guest and it couldn't be a better one.

Oh, Well, thank you.

And I'm excited for what we're about to do.

You ready to get started?

Yes.

Excellent.

Each of your podcast episode titles starts with the future of.

So let me start by asking you for your thoughts on the future of communication, especially how AI plays out in it.

So first of all, I'm glad you mentioned that I had you on my podcast this morning, because the answer is you just told me the future of communication.

But I actually thought about it before we chatted.

I'm an AI enthusiast.

I use AI in my research.

I'm part of the human -centered AI Institute at Stanford.

AI in general has exposed lots of things that were hidden in our society.

So a lot of people hear about bias and unfairness, and that is a problem with AI.

On the other hand, it was a problem before, and in some ways we need to give AI credit for exposing the unfairness

and giving us something that we can work on to try to improve.

And the reason I mentioned this is I I think for communication, in some ways, it's the same answer.

If you're worried that a chat GPT type tool can replace you, I think you need to think about why am I communicating?

What am I trying to say?

Am I being authentic?

Do I have a message?

Because really, if those things are true, it shouldn't be a problem.

It should actually just help you amplify and improve your message.

So I think

that we're at a time now where people have to ask hard questions about why they're communicating

and how they communicate and I think

that the AI is bringing these issues to the fore that were kind of insidiously in the background.

So you can see I'm an AI optimist and I think this will help.

I also think AI can bring a lot of value to communication and I really like your response that, you know, the thing to worry about is not AI taking over communication.

The thing to worry about is do I have a clear goal?

Do I know what is important to say and how can I craft it in a way to be helpful?

And I think AI can be an assistant in it.

For example, I have many non -native speaking students.

AI is a wonderful tool to help them learn some of the vernacular and learn other options for ways of saying things.

So I appreciate that perspective.

You know, it is interesting how good it is when you say, please explain this at the level of an eighth grader or at the level of a high school student.

And I think that's something we all can get better at because listening, understanding who your audience is and then making sure you're delivering at the right level is always a challenge.

And that seems to be one thing that it's kind of good at.

Absolutely.

And you can actually use it to flag jargon in terms that others might not understand.

You mentioned that you happen to use it in your communication.

Do you mind sharing some of the ways you use it?

My favorite story, if I may, was I had written a grant proposal.

And I ran the one -page summary of the grant through the large language model.

And I said, please summarize the strengths

and weaknesses of this summary of my research that I'm about to submit to the National Institutes of Health for research dollars.

and it came back and it had a few, you know, pretty good positives and negatives.

But my favorite negative is it said, you seem to be leaning on prior accomplishments too heavily.

And it was absolutely right.

So I've used it as like as a pre -human screen.

Before I go to my colleagues even, even my trusted colleagues, let's just see what the LLM has to say.

Maybe I'll fix it up and then give it to my buddy down the hall to take a look.

That's fantastic that it was helpful to you and I like this idea of it's actually a pre -editor.

Yes.

Did it recommend you need to see some therapy about some narcissism?

No, no, no. It didn't.

That goes without statement.

But if I had asked, I'm sure it would have added to the chorus.

I want to pull this thread a little farther about grants.

You have been incredibly successful at raising money for the projects that you do through the grants that you apply for.

Many of our listeners have to write proposals asking for funding from their bosses or from external organizations.

What guidance do you have when it comes to drafting proposals and grants?

I am passionate about this.

In general, the first thing you have to do is understand the mission of the person

or institution to whom you are making a request.

Because if you don't hit that mission directly, it's end of the game.

Given that, you need to have a big problem that you want to be part of the solution of, and then a focused problem that you are actually going to provide the solution to.

You have to show that that sub problem is not solved.

Then you have to make the case that there's an opportunity that you and maybe others, but certainly you have.

And then you have to boil it down to three to

five action items followed by a summary of the state of the world when you're done.

And I believe that

that formula can be used from everything from a grant to a federal funding agency to a marriage proposal.

And I've tried it in all different settings and it really is the fundamental structure of any proposal.

When we turn off the microphones, I want to hear the future state that you use to propose to your wife.

Happiness.

No, it's an easy one.

Honey, you will be happier then than you are now.

Excellent.

So the key takeaway from what you just said, I think, is not only do you have to know your audience and what's important for them, and that's critical, regardless if it's a proposal or a pitch or a presentation.

But this notion of where we are to where we're going to, from to to, is so important in pitches,

in presentations, and it sounds like in types of proposals.

And I like this notion of saying, hey, there's this larger problem, and I'm going to focus on this subset, and my unique value or my team's unique value is what's going to help us solve it.

Here's the specific things, and then here's what the world's going to look like.

Thank you for listening, Matt.

100

What you did just there is something I'd also like to ask you about.

101

Your work in the academic world is incredibly complex, is incredibly detailed.

102

And yet you're so good at explaining and making that complex information accessible.

103

What are your thoughts on how to do that?

104

I know you do it strategically.

105

I know from the conversation you and I had earlier you like using the whiteboard.

106

What are the things you think about

107

when you take complex information to make it more accessible to people who just don't know as much without dumbing it down?

108

You know this very well, that stories are what people remember, stories are what people like.

109

It's actually frustrating because part of my work is statistics.

110

And statistics is really much more robust than a story.

111

We always say you might have one good anecdote and that doesn't replace lots of actual data.

112

But I'm afraid that sometimes, a lot of times, a good story does stand in for a lot of data

113

because it's so compelling to the human mind.

114

So we're always looking for stories.

115

analogy is a key part of both stopping the conversation and letting people catch up, but also saying, okay, wait a minute.

116

Let me rephrase what you just said, but let me not use the words you just said.

117

Let me map it onto an everyday situation like going shopping.

118

So you're telling me that the internet

119

and the way it works is like a very complicated email mail system or Or whatever.

120

And so can you listen to what the expert is saying and see an analogy to an everyday life thing?

121

And you're checking your understanding, but on the chance that you're right, you're also helping the entire listenership or readership understand what was just said.

122

So that's important.

123

Related to that, and you already said it earlier, you always have an antenna up for jargon.

124

And I'm sure you do this too.

125

You have to be willing to stop the conversation cold and say, oh, you just said NIH.

126

That's the National Institutes of Health.

127

They fund research in America.

128

And so part of what I'm doing always is a little antenna listening for words

129

that need to be defined or abbreviations that might not be commonly understood.

130

So I think analogy, stories, and then adjusting, adjusting the level.

131

So sometimes when you're talking with someone, you just have to send them signals in real time

132

that we are talking at a level that requires a PhD and I'm going for high school, college students here or whatever.

133

And then it's practice.

134

And one of the great things I love both about this podcast

135

and about your book is you don't say that you either got it or you don't got it.

136

All of this can be practiced and learned.

137

Absolutely.

138

That's a big point I like to try to make and encourage people and you are helping all of us learn this.

139

Something that I think can also be helpful, and I'd love to get your input on this, is there's work you can do in advance.

140

So you can actually stockpile some stories or think about some potential analogies that might work.

141

So it doesn't all have to happen in the moment.

142

You can pull them in.

143

And at the same time, some pre -work you can do is you can prepare the audience.

144

So in a meeting invite, for example, you could say, and we're gonna be talking about concepts like this.

145

So people come in primed, which I think makes your job easier.

146

What are your thoughts on that kind of pre -work?

147

I totally agree.

148

I had one more point written down, and I just had decided that I had talked too long a second ago.

149

But I said anticipate the tough spots and validate that they're tough.

150

So say to the audience, this guy is talking about quantum physics.

151

This is hard stuff.

152

Here's how we're going to try to manage through it together.

153

So I just want to say that you're absolutely right.

154

I think the key idea of prep for an interview

155

or for creating a document or any kind of communication is.. anticipating the tough moments, the tough concepts, and exactly as you say,

156

saying, okay, I'm gonna try to fly with this analogy.

157

I think this'll work.

158

I think it'll make it more accessible, more relatable.

159

And that's part of doing your homework.

160

And it's not that hard to just think.

161

I spend, before I talk to you, before I talk to anybody, I spend the night before basically Google stalking you, looking at what have you said, what have you done.

162

Part of it is so I can have emergency topics to talk about if it turns out that you're, you know, reticent to speak.

163

That wasn't a problem.

164

But the other...

165

I've never been accused of that.

166

Right.

167

Exactly.

168

Nor have I.

169

However, the other thing was, what might he say that might be surprising or troubling?

170

And how am I going to manage that?

171

And then you go in with this confidence that kind of whatever comes down the pike, we're ready for it.

172

And you may use them, or you may not use them.

173

But having them just has you this sense of preparedness.

174

Right.

175

And that helps you be confident and more present because you're not reaching ahead, thinking what's coming.

176

You do a good job of preparing to ask the questions you ask on your podcast.

177

I saw that firsthand.

178

I've listened to the show and see how you do that.

179

That preparation in advance, although I know that I'm recommending everybody cyber stalk people, but I do think it's important to do your homework.

180

What advice do you have for asking questions that can really help focus and guide communication and conversations?

181

Specificity in the question is key.

182

Specificity rules in the world, in my opinion.

183

People want to hear stories that are specific, not general, and they want to hear questions that are specific.

184

But then my second tip helps take up a little bit of pressure off, because I think the follow -up question is arguably more important than the initial question.

185

Because the initial question gets the listeners and the guests, if we're talking about a podcast, into a certain space.

186

And there might be some hemming and hawing as they gather their thoughts.

187

But then they say something.

188

And now they're warmed up.

189

And their audience is warmed up.

190

And now you can come up with a follow -up question that might be the meaty question.

191

And I've heard people who are very good who do interviews, you know, David Letterman, Johnny Carson.

192

If you watch, their follow -ups were always very good.

193

In addition to being specific and being open to asking follow -up questions,

194

the use of questions isn't just for people who do interviewing you can be very effective in a meeting

195

and giving feedback through asking focus specific questions

196

and in some ways I think people receive

197

that in a more open way than

198

if I give you some declarative statement yes I think you're absolutely right I notice

199

that students might like my PhD students the last thing

200

that they get good at before they're ready to launch

201

and graduate is answering questions after a seminar because they come to it thinking that questions are an attack.

202

And so they get defensive.

203

Their answers are almost off -putting.

204

And so there's a mentorship that you do to say, you need to consider every question as a little gift.

205

It's a gift.

206

It shows, I listened to what you just said.

207

I've processed it.

208

And now I actually want to have a conversation with you.

209

It doesn't get any better than that.

210

So yes, I'm a big fan that questions can be powerful.

211

They can say, thank you.

212

They can say, I heard you.

213

And they can say, and I have a little bit of an opinion here without even saying it as, I have a little bit of an opinion here.

214

Right.

215

Seeing questions and actually lots of spontaneous situations like giving feedback

216

and even introducing somebody as opportunities rather than threats and challenges is a fundamental mindset shift.

217

And I love that you spend time with your students helping them get there because many of it's instinctual.

218

When somebody comes up with a question, we get defensive.

219

But if we can see it as an opportunity to connect, to learn, to collaborate, I think is wonderful.

220

My best friend is a sports writer.

221

But really more importantly, he's a journalist.

222

He's famous for making his points with these very understated, beautiful questions where he doesn't even have to follow up

223

and tell you what he really thinks because it's obvious from his question.

224

And I think to myself, what a great journalist he is and was because of this skill.

225

We had a whole episode with Deborah Shifrin on how to ask good questions.

226

She said to pause.

227

So after you ask the question, pause.

228

And after the person answers, pause even longer because more comes out.

229

I'd love to move to another area where you are an expert.

230

You work on highly complex topics, but you also work in highly complex teams with people spread

231

out all over the place with different areas of expertise in different disciplines.

232

What best practices do you use to foster creativity and collaboration

233

while trying to avoid destructive conflict and repetitive actions and wastes of time?

234

It has become clear that team science is the most effective and is the most exciting in many ways.

235

You must understand and acknowledge the rewards and motivations of your collaborators because they are unlikely to be identical to your own.

236

And if you leave that unstated or worse, not understood, it's just a recipe for a lot of wasted energy and wasted words.

237

So understand that.

238

leads to number two, which is you have to build the relationship, the human relationship, separate from the scientific or business collaboration.

239

And those two go together, understanding and building a relationship.

240

But that time, which is kind of a pain in the neck, because it means you have to have lunch with them.

241

And maybe you don't want to have lunch.

242

Maybe you want to just take five minutes to shove food down your throat because you're busy.

243

But the time to build that relationship pays off in spades.

244

So those two things come first.

245

Then you have to, I think diversity in teamwork has become, there's now literal evidence that if everybody looks and sounds like you

246

and has the same training and the same perspective and the same goals and motivations, as I talked about a moment ago, that is not the recipe for the best team.

247

So you have to take a hard look at who you've invited to the room.

248

And if you're really brave and courageous, you will say, this is a good group, but this is not the right group for this project.

249

And we either need to add to it or, you know, or even more difficult, I need to make some substitutions, which, you know, can be a whole set of issues.

250

And then it's about roles and responsibilities.

251

And with the relationship in place and with an understanding of the reward systems and with a diversity, now you can say finally,

252

okay, here's what we're trying to do.

253

How are we going to break this down

254

and how are we going to do roles and responsibilities so that people feel like they're part of a team, that it's functioning?

255

And then obviously, and I could not be on this podcast without saying, having mechanisms for both formal and informal communication in place and understood.

256

A lot of richness in that answer.

257

No, no, no. It's all good.

258

The fact that you first have to get alignment on goals and expectations is critical, forming those relationships, which then allow much of what you've said.

259

And I will just put an exclamation point on this notion of diversity.

260

Diversity of opinions and experience and goals is what brings around the richness, but also requires that you have to define the roles, responsibilities, and ways of communicating.

261

Because if people have those differences, they bring that different way of communicating too.

262

I want to drill down on one aspect that I was very specific in the question I asked.

263

I said avoiding destructive conflict.

264

I know in the work you do that encouraging some disagreement and conflict is actually helpful to achieving the goals.

265

How do you thread that needle?

266

Where it comes up in my life literally every week is

267

that all the students and postdocs in the lab take turns every week giving what we call a group meeting.

268

It's a research in progress talk about how they're going.

269

And this is with their colleagues who they sit next to all week.

270

So what's supposed to happen?

271

What's supposed to happen is we're supposed to be supportive.

272

We wanted them to feel comfortable.

273

But they're supposed to be practicing for an audience that may be hostile, like scientific colleagues can be hostile.

274

And so I, as the leader of the group, have to figure out how do I set this up so that they are getting the hardest questions,

275

the hardest, most uncomfortable, scientific, technical questions from these people that they sit with every day.

276

But it doesn't lead to a toxic environment, lack of trust, and people saying, I don't want to give my group meeting.

277

I don't trust this group.

278

I have to set it up so that they can present.

279

I can ask hard questions.

280

But then we have a culture of thanking them for the talk,

281

acknowledging the hard things that they've uncovered as hard, and thanking them for the solutions that they've produced.

282

And if I see problems, I have other communication methods in the lab to try to identify those and deal with them outside of that forum.

283

But you're absolutely right.

284

This is like the number one thing for a team leader to be aware of

285

because the rigor slash support tension is there all the time.

286

You know, Russ, one of the things I love about hosting this podcast is the ability to just talk with amazing people, yourself included, I always learn something.

287

What is something that you've learned from your many years of hosting The Future of Everything

288

that you think might help the listeners of Think Fast, Talk Smart?

289

The people who I interview, what they do is the thing that they think is the most important thing they could possibly do.

290

So you talk to a civil engineer.

291

It's not that this is one little interesting problem in civil engineering.

292

This is the most interesting problem in civil engineering to this person.

293

And indeed, it's the most important thing they can think of doing.

294

And so the passion that scientists and engineers, because that's what we focus on, although we have other guests as well,

295

but the passion of scientists and engineers in approaching their work and the magnitude of that passion probably shouldn't have surprised me,

296

but it did.

297

And I learned that you need to get to people's passion to really understand what makes them tick.

298

And inviting that passion out through questions

299

and through giving space for them to do that can really help you connect and build a stronger relationship.

300

So you don't have to be a podcast host.

301

to take advantage of that.

302

And that's one of the things I love too, is just finding people's passion.

303

Sometimes people are so passionate about something I never thought of and just their passion makes me interested.

304

And some people don't wear it on their sleeve and you have to work a little bit to get it out, but it's always there.

305

If you listen to Think Fast, Talk Smart, you know I believe communication is something we can all get better at.

306

And getting better takes more than simply learning new ideas, it takes practice.

307

That's why I love teaching communication essentials for work and life through Stanford Continuing Studies.

308

We explore the communication challenges that show up in everyday life, how to be more persuasive, tell better stories, strengthen your presence,

309

navigate difficult conversations, and connect with others more effectively.

310

Along the way, you'll hear from expert guest speakers, learn practical techniques, and most importantly, have opportunities to put those ideas into practice.

311

My goal is simple, to help you become a more confident, clear, and effective communicator at work and in your life.

312

If that sounds like something you'd like to work on, I'd love to have you join me.

314

That's continuingstudies .stanford .edu slash tfts.

315

Well, I know you listen to the podcast, so you know that before we end, I like to ask three questions.

316

One I create just for you.

317

Oh, my goodness.

318

This is so exciting.

319

And two that are similar for everybody else I interview.

320

You up for yours?

321

Yeah, absolutely.

322

All right.

323

You are very future -focused.

324

So what is one thing about the future that you're particularly excited about?

325

I am excited about young people.

326

Young people starting to form their lives and their direction.

327

Without fail, every year gives me hope for the future.

328

As you may have come to your attention, the world is currently facing a lot of problems.

329

And it's very easy to get very negative.

330

And if you want to combat that negativity, be involved in an admissions process

331

or a hiring process of young people like for their first job or for their next job.

332

And if you're not inspired, then I think you need to do some deep introspection.

333

I love that answer simply because I have lots of friends who are getting curmudgeonly and they will say, you know, these young people, what's this world going to amount to?

334

And I say, hey, it's us that's causing the problems because if you come in and see my students or the people I coach, there's a lot of hope.

335

Yes.

336

And there's a lot of excitement.

337

And I'm glad you echoed that because I say that all the time.

338

Question number two, who is a communicator that you admire and why?

339

My dad.

340

Tell me why.

341

He had a great voice much better than mine.

342

He had an FM voice and he had a great way with words.

343

And he did lots of the things that you discuss all the time.

344

When I'm trying to do my best at communicating, I'm channeling dad.

345

I actually am getting a little choked up because I feel exactly the same way about my father.

346

My father had an amazing resonant voice, was a great communicator.

347

Get to the point.

348

What's the point?

349

And it really helped me try to be more focused and concrete.

350

So if I may, between the podcast we did this morning and the more we're doing now, I gave a talk and somebody said, what's the best piece of advice you ever got?

351

And I said it was from my dad and it was get to the point.

352

Oh, how funny.

353

Question number three.

354

What are the first three ingredients that go into a successful communication recipe?

355

You need to know who you're talking to.

356

You need to know the audience and a little bit about their goals, hopes, and dreams.

357

Second, you need to be specific in your message.

358

And then the third one I'm going to go with, make sure you try to keep it fun, light, and enjoyable.

359

Like, life is short.

360

And if you can do something with a sense of joy, why not do it with a sense of joy?

361

So even if it's the most mundane message, think about how can I make this a positive experience for me

362

and for the person who's about to listen to me and have a conversation with me.

363

So those are my three.

364

This notion of connection and engagement through the energy you bring to your topic is really important.

365

There are people who study things that I don't understand and prior to hearing them talk about it or write about it, I didn't care about.

366

But their passion and their ability to connect it to me and make it engaging makes a big difference.

367

I agree.

368

Russ, thank you so much.

369

You did an amazing job of educating us and keeping it engaging and interesting.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
