Our best relationships rely on connection, the ability to vibe with somebody else.
2
My name is Matt Abrahams, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
3
Welcome to Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.
4
Today, I am super excited to speak with Adam Grant.
5
Adam is an organizational psychologist and top -rated professor at the Wharton School.
6
He has written several best -selling books, such as Think Again and Hidden Potential.
7
His latest book is Vive, The Secrets of Strong Connections in a Lonely World.
8
Beyond his academic research on motivation and workplace dynamics, he hosts the TED podcast, Rethinking.
9
It should be in everybody's queue.
10
Well, welcome, Adam.
11
I have long admired your work and have enjoyed my conversations with many of your Wharton colleagues,
12
Katie Milkman, Angela Duckworth, Wendy De La Rosa, and Jonah Berger.
13
It's really exciting for me to meet you personally here.
14
Thank you.
15
Well, I'll try to live up to that.
16
Great to be here, Matt.
17
Thank you.
18
Shall we get started?
19
Bring it on.
20
All right.
21
I'd like to initiate a conversation around public speaking and communication.
22
In your book, Hidden Potential, you share the story of how you went from a terrified to confident public speaker.
23
Can you share what that anxiety was like for you
24
and how you successfully learned to manage the anxiety to become a great, well -known, and well -sought -after speaker?
25
Well, sharing the anxiety part is easy.
26
I have vivid memories of knowing
27
that I was going to have to get up in front of people and just shaking physically.
28
I could see my hands moving.
29
I couldn't control it.
30
I was so jittery.
31
Usually that was the first cue actually is I would see it before I felt it.
32
And then I would notice that my heart was racing.
33
It felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest,
34
I would notice that my breathing would get fast and shallow like I just finished a sprint.
35
And not only was it making me not want to get up in front of an audience,
36
I didn't feel like I could deliver a coherent sentence because I couldn't catch my breath.
37
And I felt like the only way to get through it,
38
Matt, was just to rehearse it so often that my body had to get used to it.
39
I wanted to put myself through a form of, I guess, exposure therapy.
40
So the only thing
41
I could think to do was to put myself in a situation where the stakes were both higher
42
and lower at the same time.
43
So I was in grad school at the time
44
and I knew I was going to have to start teaching my own classes and I was terrified.
45
So I volunteered to give guest lectures for my friends' classes.
46
And on the one hand, that was much scarier.
47
because I only had a 30 or 60 minute window to try to get through to these students.
48
And they were gonna judge me just by that performance.
49
I didn't have then the rest of the semester to recover
50
if I stumbled or if I sounded like I was Darth Vader because I was breathing so heavily.
51
But on the other hand, these students didn't have any real say over my future.
52
They weren't gonna hate my class and tank my teaching evaluations
53
and undermine my ability to get a lecturing job in the future or a professorship in the future.
54
And so I thought, okay, this is the perfect place to practice because I was under pressure.
55
But at the end of the day, it didn't really matter.
56
And a few friends were kind enough to say yes.
57
And after every guest lecture, I gave out feedback forms.
58
And I said, tell me what you'd like to see repeated.
59
And more importantly, what I should change.
60
and some of the comments were not friendly.
61
I remember one of them said, you're so nervous, you're causing us to physically shake in our seats.
62
Only much later did I think, wow, I have a form of telekinesis.
63
Not fun at the time.
64
And then there was a student who wrote that I was
65
so awkward on stage that I reminded them of a Muppet and they never even told me which Muppet.
66
Maybe you can help me with that.
67
Yeah, I immediately thought of Animal, the one who's frenetic and always moving.
68
I could see that.
69
I was thinking it might be the sweetest chef.
70
But something really interesting happened, Matt, as I went through this.
71
Not only did I stop having mild panic attacks as I repeatedly got in front of audiences,
72
but I also discovered that I had already put myself in the worst case scenario.
73
What is somebody going to say about my teaching that's worse than And your anxiety is contagious.
74
And you remind me of a Muppet.
75
And so I felt like at that point, I had nothing to lose.
76
And as I got a little bit less uncomfortable, I started cracking more jokes.
77
I started being a little bit more spontaneous and responding to the energy in the room.
78
And I had a better connection with the audience.
79
And the vibe improved.
80
built my confidence up.
81
And so I think what I learned from
82
that experience was in the first semester where I was afraid to get on any stage,
83
I felt like I needed to wait until I'd built my confidence in order to take action.
84
And I realized I had that backward.
85
I needed to take the action in order to build my confidence.
86
And it was through doing the reps, putting myself in that situation where I did not want to be there,
87
where I just felt the butterflies constantly, that I ended up earning the confidence to keep doing it.
88
Do it and then reflect on it, I think is a really powerful way to address the fear of speaking in front of others.
89
And I really appreciate that idea of finding situations that have high stakes,
90
but at the same time aren't so critical that a bad performance can lead to devastating consequences.
91
So it's really the exposure therapy that helped you get through that.
92
But I also noticed a cognitive shift you got out of your head
93
and you got into the room where you were paying attention to what was happening and responding to it.
94
A lot of nervous speakers are inside their own head,
95
replaying what's happening for them or they should be saying or could have been saying instead of actually connecting outside.
96
I'll be curious when we talk about your new book,
97
if this experience helped you become curious about connecting and the ways in which we can connect and relate to others.
98
Two things that just jumped out at me.
99
One, I think the ideal stakes for practice are stressful in the moment, but no lasting cost.
100
And so it feels like it might be embarrassing in the present, but you're not going to carry it with you into your future.
101
I think that's the situation in which you want to practice or dip your toe in the water.
102
And then, yeah, that experience definitely got me curious about how to form connection because
103
I had all these ideas I was passionate about.
104
I was excited to get to know my students and build relationships with them.
105
But I didn't know how to cross that bridge when it was me with a sea of invisible faces.
106
And I think that for me, the intermediate step in that journey was then to say, okay, I've now gotten comfortable being uncomfortable.
107
And I hope that I'm not going to change my first nature, as Brian Little, one of my favorite psychologists would call it.
108
I am an introvert physiologically.
109
I am shy.
110
But I want to make this second nature.
111
I want to expand my comfort zone so
112
that this feels like something I can do regularly and not freak out about for weeks in advance.
113
So my comfort zone started to expand, but then the hurdles got bigger.
114
I had to speak for audiences that were more terrifying.
115
I had to get in front of US Army and Air Force generals.
116
I had to start giving TED Talks.
117
And I also had to start teaching classes that were very short.
118
I had 225 students in just a week.
119
And I didn't have time to get to know them and build relationships with him like I'd always done.
120
And so every time my comfort zone expanded, the challenge expanded and I was kind of in the deep end, treading water all over again.
121
And those consistent challenges really gave me a crash course in saying, you know what, the worst case scenario is I'm gonna embarrass myself again.
122
And then I'm gonna have great material for future learning and teaching.
123
So that's a huge cognitive reframe there, that this is something that I can learn from versus something I have to endure and survive.
124
I find it interesting that you say you had to do these things.
125
I think it's awesome that you got to do those things to share your knowledge with folks.
126
I wanna come back to the idea that feedback played a critical role in your getting comfortable speaking in front of others.
127
You were very specific in the feedback you asked for.
128
You didn't just say, how'd I do?
129
Talk to me about the role that feedback played for you in your journey,
130
but how feedback can play in all of our journeys as we learn to connect and engage with others better.
131
So I've come to believe that feedback is overrated and advice is underrated when it comes to learning.
132
And I didn't know that I was doing this at the time, but I'll tell you a quick story from the Air Force experience.
133
Fast forward a couple years, I've started teaching my own classes, and I get a call from the U .S.
134
Air Force.
135
And they say, we're looking for somebody to teach leadership to our generals and colonels, you came recommended, would you do it?
136
And Matt, I felt massively unqualified.
137
I looked at the bios of these
138
Air Force leaders.
139
I did not have thousands of flying hours.
140
I did not have hundreds of thousands of troops under my command.
141
I didn't have a multi -billion dollar budget.
142
But I had never served my country before.
143
And I felt like I had a responsibility to say yes.
144
So I did.
145
And it was even more intimidating than I had feared when I walked in.
146
It looked like a scene out of Top Gun.
147
And the Air Force leaders, instead of names on their name cards, they had their call signs.
148
So staring me down are gunner and striker and bomber.
149
And I felt like what I had to do was prove myself to these people.
150
So I started talking about my credentials and my expertise and all the research I'd done.
151
And I got the feedback forms afterward.
152
And they were brutal.
153
One of the Air Force leaders had written, there was more knowledge in the audience than on the podium.
154
Wow.
155
Fact.
156
Yeah.
157
And then I pulled out another one and it said, I gained very little from this session, but I trust the instructor got useful insight.
158
Dagger to the heart.
159
I remember reading that and Googling, can humans learn to hibernate like bears?
160
I wanted to crawl into a hole for months.
161
I wanted to quit my job and never walk in front of another military audience again.
162
I had a problem.
163
I had already committed to doing another session with a group of Air Force leaders.
164
It was about a week later.
165
And as a matter of principle, I follow through on my commitments.
166
So what could I do?
167
I didn't know this at the time, but research has come out in the last few years showing
168
that we actually learn more from other people if instead of seeking their feedback, we ask for their advice.
169
And the reason for that is feedback is backward looking.
170
It tells you what you did wrong yesterday.
171
And that's clearly what these
172
Air Force leaders had done for me.
173
Whereas advice is forward -looking.
174
It gives you specific actionable guidance around what you can change to do better tomorrow.
175
And that's exactly what I ended up finding when I thought, okay, I don't know what to do.
176
All I could think to do was to go back to the Air Force leaders who crucified me.
177
But I asked them a different question.
178
Instead of giving me feedback, I said, I need suggestions.
179
I have to do this again.
180
What advice do you have for me next time?
181
And I got very different responses from them.
182
I got comments about changes I could make, and some of them had to do with content,
183
which was, that was just useless for me because I had already crammed everything I knew about leadership into my four hours,
184
and I did not have time to fully reboot it.
185
But a few of the comments I got revolved around the way that I introduced myself to the audience.
186
And one of the Air Force leaders said, look, we can all tell that you're junior.
187
Why don't you just call out the elephant in the room?
188
And I thought, what do I have to lose?
189
So I walked in front of the next group of Air Force leaders.
190
I stared them down and I said, I know what you're thinking right now.
191
What could I possibly learn from a professor who's 12 years old?
192
It was crickets.
193
But after what felt like an eternity, one of the Air Force leaders, I'm going to call him
194
Sand Dune because that was his call sign.
195
He jumped in and he said, that's ridiculous.
196
You look like you're at least 13.
197
And everybody laughed at that and it broke the ice.
198
And I more or less thought the same material, but I had taken myself off a pedestal that I didn't belong on.
199
And afterward, the comments were completely different.
200
One of my favorite ones said, you know, the professors seem to get younger every year.
201
or is it that we're getting older?
202
Either way, it was nice to learn about how to motivate millennials from someone who's almost young enough to be one.
203
And although junior in experience, Adam dealt with the evidence in an interesting way.
204
And Matt, it was a great lesson for me about showing a little humility and being willing to laugh at myself,
205
but also in taking the very people who gave me useless,
206
demoralizing feedback, seeking their advice and discovering they actually had a lot to teach me.
207
I think your call sign would be suggestions, question mark.
208
It's so true.
209
I appreciate several things that you said.
210
One, that it's really important to seek advice, which is prospective versus feedback, which is retrospective.
211
And that's really important.
212
And how you ask for that advice matters.
213
But you also gave us a really important lesson about how you start communication.
214
Many of us lead with strength, with competence.
215
And in fact, connection and warmth can be really important.
216
And the joke you made really, I think, sounds like transformed the experience.
217
So I appreciate you sharing that too.
218
Well, thank you.
219
It's something I've continued to do every time I give a speech or have a conversation in front of an audience.
220
I will take anybody I can find afterward and first invite them to be critics and tell me,
221
like zero to 10, what would you rate that?
222
and it's almost never does anybody give a 10.
223
And at that point, even if they say, whether it's a three and a half or a nine,
224
they have admitted there is something I could do that needs improvement.
225
And so I say, okay, you gave me a score.
226
It wasn't a 10.
227
What can I do to get closer to 10?
228
And that's where the advice starts to come into play.
229
And I don't want to over -index on everyone's comments, but...
230
If I hear the same theme from multiple people independently, I'm going to take that as a useful signal.
231
And one thing that comes up repeatedly when I ask people how to get closer to 10 is the introduction really matters.
232
Yeah.
233
And striking that balance between showing confidence and signaling that you're competent, but also making a real connection with the audience is not always easy.
234
I'd like to turn our attention to your current book, your new book, Vibe.
235
It's all about how we connect with others and how wrong we often are about the assumptions we have around communicating.
236
How do you know if you're vibing with someone?
237
My kids tell me somebody my age can't even use the word vibing.
238
But how do you know if you're vibing with someone?
239
Yeah, my 15 -year -old told me to stop saying vibe because I was ruining the word.
240
I actually think there's a paradox, which is similar to when you're in a flow state.
241
You often don't notice your vibing until after the fact
242
because you're so immersed in the conversation that you weren't even thinking about it.
243
And I think that is probably the most basic sign that you're vibing with somebody else is the conversation was so delightful.
244
It was so absorbing that time flew.
245
You lost track of where you were, maybe even who you were.
246
And afterward, you kind of marveled at, wow, we really clicked.
247
I think that if you wanted to get more precise about knowing when you're vibing, If you were a neuroscientist,
248
you could actually measure people's brainwaves and heartbeats synchronizing.
249
That's a sign that people are experiencing chemistry in the moment.
250
And then over time, you would discover that every time you interact, it brings you closer, even if you're not always having the most pleasant interaction.
251
So for me, one of the strongest signs
252
that you're vibing with somebody is that you can have an argument with them and come away feeling like, I understood them better.
253
I trust them more.
254
I like them more, even though we didn't agree.
255
Are there things that we can do to increase the likelihood that we vibe,
256
especially in a world where a lot of our communication has become much more transactional, especially with the virtual communication that we do?
257
How can we increase that connection, which is lovely when you experience it, in a world where we're on Zooms,
258
Teams, Meets, and it's all scheduled by the half hour?
259
I actually have some good news on that front,
260
which is there's some brand new research by Eli Finkel and his colleagues on virtual dates versus in -person dates.
261
And let me just tell you, Matt, I don't know anybody who would prefer to go on a Zoom date to a date in a restaurant.
262
But if you actually look at the data comparing them, although the in -person date tends to last twice as long,
263
they are equally enjoyable and equally likely to lead to a second date.
264
And I think this is because people have low expectations for virtual interaction.
265
And when you vibe with somebody that you just met over Zoom, you come away thinking, wow, that went better than I thought it would.
266
And you're just as eager to meet them.
267
You can still gauge at a basic level whether you find them attractive and interesting.
268
And so I don't think we should write off virtual interaction altogether.
269
The evidence on Zoom fatigue suggests that we don't actually burn out having back -to -back Zooms.
270
We get bored out.
271
It's originally a French term, le bore out.
272
And it's different from burnout because burnout is basically being drained by being overstimulated and stressed beyond your capacity.
273
Whereas bore out comes from being understimulated and being at below challenge level.
274
And that is unfortunately the effect that too much virtual interaction can have on us.
275
So I think we need to set a limit on that.
276
A 30 -minute
277
Zoom date or meeting could go fine, but let's not hang out for three hours virtually.
278
Beyond recalibrating our expectations for virtual, are there things we can do to enhance vibing?
279
I think it depends what kind of wavelength you want to vibe on.
280
So I've actually found that there are three different kinds of wavelengths that we can connect on.
281
And I think about them as allies, pals, and companions.
282
So if you want to enlist someone as an ally,
283
you're basically trying to figure out what goals you share so you can help each other succeed.
284
You want to be on a mission together.
285
If you're looking to connect with somebody as a pal, a pal is somebody who you just enjoy interacting with.
286
And so you're probably defaulting to what would be fun.
287
Do we have favorite hobbies in common, shared interests?
288
Do we like the same books, movies, or music?
289
And then I think companionship is often the most intimate form of connection, but it's not always the strongest.
290
A companion is somebody where there's real mutual affection and care.
291
And there you probably are more interested in finding out what are their biggest struggles right now emotionally?
292
How can you support them?
293
you might also want to confide in them and open up a little bit.
294
And so I actually think, Matt, this is the first step.
295
If you want to improve your vibe with people that you're just meeting or you're trying to strengthen your connection with,
296
I think you want to start by asking, am I trying to build a connection as allies, pals, or companions?
297
I really appreciate that distinction of, in what way are you trying to connect?
298
I often conflate these in my own life, and then I get disappointed.
299
And it's helpful for me to think about, these are the people with whom I really just want to be pals.
300
And these are people who, for me, are allies.
301
I appreciate that.
302
Let's take allies just as an example, if you don't mind.
303
What might be a few things I could do to help myself form some of those relationships?
304
Allies are people who share your goals.
305
Pals are people who share your interests.
306
And companions are people who share your core values.
307
And if you're trying to enlist more allies in your life, you're basically looking for good collaborators.
308
And I think that usually starts with asking people, what's the biggest challenge you're running into right now?
309
Or what's a problem you would love somebody to help you to solve?
310
And when people start to talk about the roadblocks they're running into, the obstacles they're encountering, you can immediately think of, okay, what do I know?
311
Or who do I know that might be helpful there?
312
That's, I think, the asking approach.
313
If you want to start with offering instead, open up about one a year, biggest challenges to achieving your goals.
314
And then say, hey, here's where I am right now.
315
I'm stuck.
316
Or here's what I'm trying to accomplish.
317
I would love some help.
318
Is this something that's exciting for you too?
319
If so, maybe there's a way that we can collaborate or partner.
320
But I want to put a giant disclaimer on this.
321
Do not propose collaboration on the first date.
322
Way too soon.
323
The worst cold emails I get, Matt, are from people who say,
324
hey, I just wanted to reach out and see if we could collaborate on a project.
325
I'm like, I don't even know you.
326
I just met you.
327
Why don't instead you offer me an idea, a bit of advice, maybe even a piece of feedback or a suggestion.
328
And let me get a taste of who you are and what you do.
329
And then we can figure out whether it would make sense for us to collaborate on anything.
330
I appreciate you delineating the ways in which we can look to form allies
331
and specifying the differences among the different types of relationships.
332
One of the things I really liked that you said was in these situations when you're trying to connect to Vibe,
333
you can ask or you can offer.
334
And it's probably a balance of the two that can be most helpful.
335
But as you go into these situations, think to yourself, what can I ask?
336
What can I offer?
337
I think can be really helpful.
338
Let's take a quick break for a word from our sponsor, strawberry .me.
339
The real value of coaching is what it helps you see and what it helps you do differently.
340
I have been coached and I have coached others.
341
And for me, the value is clarity.
342
Seeing what you're doing well, where you're getting in your own way and what you can do differently.
343
And if you're watching this, I'm guessing you're someone who wants to keep improving.
344
That might mean communicating with more confidence, becoming a stronger leader or getting clearer about your next career move.
345
Strawberry .me is like therapy for your career.
346
They match you with a coach who fits your goals and gives you practical, personalized guidance you can actually use.

350
This has been a fantastic conversation, Adam.
351
Before we end, as you well know, I like to ask three questions.
352
One, I make up just for you, and two, I've been asking everybody as long as the show has been going.
353
Are you okay with that? Of course.
354
So this was not my original question, but now I have to ask it.
355
On a scale of one to 10, how have I done in this interview?
356
And what advice would you have for me to improve?
357
Well, I have to use a zero to 10 because the zero is just an extreme fail, and also it allows for a midpoint of five.
358
So I'm going to modify your scale.
359
That's my first piece of advice.
360
Zero to 10.
361
We use the diving scorecard.
362
Okay.
363
Secondly, I'm going to give you a 9 .25.
364
And let's see, you asked how you can improve.
365
I think, here's what I would say.
366
You are remarkably prepared.
367
You do your homework in advance on your guests and their ideas.
368
And that's both validating and productive.
369
You are such a skilled communicator.
370
I'd seen this in your videos for years but it's different to experience it directly.
371
Thank you.
372
You actually demonstrate inverse charisma.
373
I feel like you've brought out a better version of me than I would have brought to an interview with somebody else.
374
And I think that's a testament to the quality of questions you ask, but also the way you respond.
375
And very often, I would say almost every response you gave after my comments...
376
I had another thought that was sparked by you reflecting back your experience
377
or you making an observation about something I'd said that I didn't even realize was interesting.
378
Like the stakes comment, I think, was an example of that.
379
It was just kind of a throwaway observation.
380
Yeah, it was high stakes, but it was kind of not high stakes.
381
And then you commented on that.
382
I realized, oh, yeah, we want immediate stakes and long -term irrelevance.
383
Yeah, that's a principle of good exposure therapy.
384
Okay.
385
Didn't know that.
386
But you just taught me that I had something to say about that.
387
Thank you for that.
388
I think that you're underusing those strengths.
389
I think that your questions are so meaty that my impulse is to give you a full answer.
390
Especially because I know that in our recording, you're going to cut down to the greatest hits.
391
And so I want to give you more material to work with.
392
The risk of that is it reduces our burstiness.
393
It reduces the rapid fire back and forth.
394
And I don't get as much back from you that then I can riff on.
395
And the coach answer, I think, was a great example of that.
396
I gave you three points.
397
You could have responded to each one.
398
And so I think
399
if you gave your guests a target of maybe one to two minutes per answer as opposed to three to five,
400
or you said, Hey, I've got some Meteor questions.
401
And then I have some that are more 30 to 60 second style
402
that I would love to react to and then have a novel conversation around.
403
I think that would be helpful
404
because I feel torn between the competing goals of doing justice
405
to the quality of the question with a quality answer and giving you more space to react.
406
And I think I erred on the former side and you could do more of the latter.
407
What do you think?
408
I actually really appreciate that advice because
409
when I think about the shows I like and have listened to yours and see what you do,
410
I like the term burstiness because I know exactly what you're talking about.
411
I like that in my interpersonal conversations a lot and I think I can bring that here.
412
So I appreciate that.
413
And I also, it's very hard for me to accept compliments.
414
So I will simply say thank you for the compliments.
415
All right, question number two, and I'll be very interested in this answer.
416
Who is a communicator you admire and why?
417
A lot of the communicators I admire most are people who are great at explaining complex ideas in ways
418
that make them memorable, but don't flatten a 3D concept into two dimensions.
419
and I think that
420
Dan Coyle, Kate Murphy, Nedra Glover -Tawwab are all remarkably good at that.
421
The ability to make complex information accessible is a true talent and everybody you mentioned is good at that.
422
And I'm not blowing smoke here.
423
Several of our guests have named you as their communicator that they admire.
424
So know that people are really taking value from what you do as well.
425
Well, that's an honor, but flattery will get them nowhere.
426
Okay.
427
I won't tell you who they were then.
428
Final question.
429
What are the first three ingredients that go into a successful communication recipe?
430
It depends on the type of communication.
431
Are we talking about writing, speaking, conversing?
432
Let's talk about what you wrote about recently, connecting, interpersonal.
433
If you're trying to communicate in ways that help you connect, number one,
434
I don't think there's any way to get around showing a genuine interest in getting to know the other person table stakes.
435
Being as curious about the other person as you are excited to share about yourself.
436
I think that's key.
437
And that is the antidote to what sociologists call conversational narcissism. So that's number one.
438
I think number two is keeping your turns short.
439
One of the markers of a great vibe in a conversation is more rapid turn -taking.
440
Neuroscientists have shown this, that if people are going back and forth every 30 or 60 seconds,
441
they're much more likely to both be excited about the conversation than if they're alternating eight -minute monologues.
442
And so be brief.
443
And that invites the other person to be brief, at least initially.
444
And then the third step, if you want to vibe, you have shown an interest in the other person, you've gotten that bursty back and forth.
445
I think the last thing to do is to take note of a few things you want to remember from the conversation.
446
These have been called pebbles, or it's the act of pebbling.
447
You follow up a week or a month or a year later, and you say, hey, I was thinking about this comment you made,
448
or I watched a show or read an article that reminded me of you.
449
That is a memory flex.
450
And that is a way of signaling, hey, I cared enough not just to listen to you in the moment, but to actually notice over time,
451
there was something that I engaged with that I think you would like to.
452
And that's a great way to both strengthen and solidify a connection.
453
I love that term memory flex.
454
I like it.
455
I've described what you said a lot and I've never used that term, but I will now.
456
So it's about demonstrating interest, burstiness, and pebbling.
457
If you can do those three things, you've got a good communication.
458
I love how well you synthesize.
459
That's what I should have said.
460
Yes.
461
I think the three ingredients of a great vibe are interest in the other person, burstiness in the back and forth rapidly,
462
and then sending little pebbles afterward to say, hey, I thought of you and I noticed what you care about and I want to stay connected.
463
Excellent.
464
Thank you so much for the wide range of advice and guidance you've given.
465
This has been a fantastic conversation.
466
I appreciate your time and best of luck with your new book.
467
Thank you.
468
It's been a pleasure to be here, Matt.
469
This was an absolute joy.
470
Thank you for joining us for another episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.
471
I really enjoyed learning from Adam Grant today.
472
One of the biggest takeaways I had was how we actually have different types of connection we go after, be it allies, pals, or companions.
473
This really changed the way I look at the relationships I have and am seeking to have.
474
To learn more about creative thinking and communication, listen to episode 80 from Adam's colleague, Jonah Berger.
475
This episode was produced by Katherine Reid, Ryan Campos, Alex McCarthy, and me, Matt Abrahams.

เทคนิค Shadowing คืออะไร?
Shadowing เป็นเทคนิคการเรียนรู้ภาษาที่ได้รับการรับรองทางวิทยาศาสตร์ พัฒนาขึ้นสำหรับการฝึกนักแปลมืออาชีพ วิธีการนี้เรียบง่ายแต่ทรงพลัง: คุณฟังเสียงภาษาอังกฤษจากเจ้าของภาษาและพูดตามทันที — เหมือนเงาที่ตามผู้พูดด้วยช่วงเวลาห่าง 1-2 วินาที การวิจัยแสดงว่าเทคนิคนี้ปรับปรุงความแม่นยำในการออกเสียง ทำนองเสียง จังหวะ การเชื่อมเสียง การฟังเข้าใจ และความคล่องแคล่วในการพูดได้อย่างมีนัยสำคัญ
