This week, Gauri is joined by a master of communication - Matt Abrahams, educator, author, coach, podcaster and co-founder of Bold Echo LLC. Matt is also a professor of Effective Virtual Communication and essentials of Strategic Communication at Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

On this episode, Gauri and Matt have an absolutely fascinating conversation about what 'strategic communication' and goal-based communication really mean, why it's important for leaders to be vulnerable and communicate authentically, what the biggest challenges for companies are with regards to communication and how they can overcome them, understanding what your audience needs to hear, how organisations can create a culture of communication and collaboration, how the global lockdowns could affect and change communication in the long term. Most important of all, Matt also talks about what people can do to overcome the fear of public speaking, or atleast how we can learn to manage it. Tune in for this and so much more.
