“Being present is really at the center of listening. Nothing really happens unless we're present.”
Some of the most important things we need to say are often the hardest to put into words. Whether it's expressing gratitude, offering an apology, or saying goodbye, slowing down and taking the time to write can help us communicate with greater thoughtfulness and meaning. In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams speaks with Frish Brandt, professional letter midwife and author of Unfinished Business: Writing the Five Essential Letters of Your Life. Brandt shares why letter writing can be as valuable for the writer as the recipient, how to move past the fear of a blank page, and why thoughtful communication requires more than finding the right words.
