What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”\nAs a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”\nIn this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.\nTo listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.\nEpisode Reference Links:\nChiney Ogwumike\nEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You \nEp.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach’s Guide to Communication \n\nConnect:\nPremium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart Premium\nEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.io\nEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart Website\nNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.io\nThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube\nMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn\n\nChapters:","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/q5mdbH19uvLyzjcjXlHsPP-L-mMRkTxgiwJ9rXbXuEU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kMTFm/MzE2MzEwOTVhNTYy/YjVjYzBlYWJmZWJm/ZjM5ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
