  • 144. Communicating Through Conflict: How to Get Along with Anyone
    May 28 2024
    Many of us would rank getting along with colleagues as an important aspect of work, but, as Amy Gallo explains, relationships devoid of disagreement can actually be less productive. “While our natural human instinct is to avoid conflict, I believe that conflicts are not only an inevitable part of interacting with other humans, but they're a necessary part.”Gallo is a workplace expert, host of HBR’s Women at Work podcast, and the author of Getting Along: How to Work With Anyone. Across her work, Gallo touts that the key to transforming conflicts into something productive is to understand its root cause and learn how to reframe them. “Even at the base of those unhealthy conflicts or those unproductive conflicts is something that needs to be resolved,” she says. In her conversation with host and strategic communications lecturer Matt Abrahams, Gallo provides useful frameworks and new concepts on how we can approach conflicts at work.

  • 143. Adopting a VC Mindset: How to Achieve More by Thinking, and Communicating, Like a Venture Capitalist
    May 21 2024
    In choosing who to date, what job to pursue, or how to invest our money, most people are just looking for a reason to move forward. But according to Professor Ilya Strebulaev, we should be looking for something else: a reason to bail."The smartest venture capitalists ask a very different question from what most of us ask," says Strebulaev. Instead of asking “‘Why should we invest?’, venture capitalists approach every new opportunity with [the] question: Why should we not proceed?” This contrarian mindset is at the heart of Strebulaev's new book The Venture Mindset, which reveals how the strategies of top VCs can help anyone make sharper decisions. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Strebulaev joins host Matt Abrahams to discuss how the venture mindset can help anyone — investor or not — weigh alternatives, make decisions, and move forward without looking back.Episode Reference Links:Ilya Stebilaev: Website Stanford Profile: WebsiteIlya’s Book: The Venture Mindset Venture Capital InitiativeArticle Ilya & Alex Dang wrote: 3 Things VCs Do That Can Help You Land Your Dream Job After Getting Laid Off Ilya’s co-teacher for his Venture Capital class: Brian Jacobs Ep.41 Speak Like a Founder: How Successful Entrepreneurs Communicate to Their Teams YouTube / Website Ep.56 Lean Messaging: How Simple Messages Really Stick YouTube / WebsiteConnect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Ilya Strebulaev, founder of the GSB's Venture Capital Initiative and professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business.(00:00:53) The Venture MindsetInsights into the venture mindset as a new mental model for making smarter, quicker decisions.(00:02:22) Embracing FailureHow venture capitalists embrace and learn from failure to achieve success.(00:05:21) Decision-Making in Venture CapitalA unique approach to decision making based on what successful venture capitalists do.(00:07:34) Applying Venture Principles in Personal and Professional LifeVenture mindset principles that can help individuals in job transitions and personal growth.(00:10:05) Lessons from Teaching Venture CapitalIlya outlines key takeaways he hopes his students learn from his class, including thinking differently and networking effectively.(00:13:25) Passionate CommunicationUsing descriptive language to engage others, including mixing familiar terms with unique ones to enhance communication about passions(00:15:29) The Final Three QuestionsIlya shares how he has grown from writing his book, a communicator he admires, and three ingredients for successful communication.(00:18:59) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Interesting

This podcast is very good, especially for people that want to gain more knowledge and change. I learned a lot listening to the Stanford graduates. I don’t have to go to college if I can listen to this, if I could ask questions then we would learn even more.
