Hi, Matt here. You've invested in your education to grow, advance, and unlock new career opportunities.

But here's the challenge. How do you position yourself to stand out in a competitive job market?

It's not just about what you know. It's about how much you communicate your value, build strategic relationships, and take decisive action.

That's where today's sponsor, Strawberry.me, career coaching, comes in.

They match students and professionals with certified career coaches who will help you refine

your personal brand to confidently articulate your skills and experiences,

to develop a results-driven strategy and stay accountable so you

follow through on networking, applications, and negotiations. Because knowing what to do is one thing.

Having a coach to push you forward, that's how you create real momentum in progress.

If you're like most of us, this is what you experience when you're about to speak publicly.

Research tells us that 85% of people feel nervous and high-stake speaking situations.

we're going to explore specific techniques you can use to manage both your symptoms and

sources of anxiety, so you can feel more comfortable and confident when communicating in front of others.

My name is Matt Abraham's, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Welcome to Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast.

This means we need someone to step in and host, and luckily we've found the perfect person.

Allow me to introduce Jenny Luna.
