89. Listen, Listen, Listen: How to Build Deep Connections

by irpanir
Forming relationships can be very
challenging at work,
in our personal lives,
in our romantic lives.
Today, let's learn some skills to
help us.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach
Strategic Communication at Stanford
Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to
Think Fast Talk Smart The Podcast
[MUSIC]
I am super excited today to speak
with Rachel Greenwald.
Rachel is an executive fellow at
Harvard Business School in
interestingly a professional
matchmaker and dating coach.
She's an expert on communication
and relationship building in work,
love, and life.
At Stanford University,
she's co-taught a seminar with past
guest, Tina Seelig at the D school
called Designing For Love.
She also guest lectures with two of
our other previous guests, Alison
Wood Brooks and Naomi Bagdonas.
Welcome Rachel, thanks for
being here.
>> Hi, Matt.
I am so excited for
our conversation today.
>> I am too.
Let's go ahead and jump right in.
You help people build relationships
in two very different arenas.
You coach executives in
the business world and you coach
singles in the dating world.
