Dr. Cheryl Robinson: 我认为,在自我介绍时,应该避免从很久以前的经历开始,而是应该从一个“快照”开始,突出自己当前的角色和成就。这样可以给对方留下提问的空间,并且人们更关心你现在在做什么。当他们对你的背景感兴趣时,再分享过去的经历,这样可以让他们了解你现在所做事情的基础。 Leanne Elliott: 我觉得,Dr. Cheryl的建议巧妙地运用了心理学中的首因效应和近因效应。首因效应是指我们的大脑更容易记住我们首先听到的内容,因此以当前的角色开始介绍,能让我们更清楚地了解对方。近因效应是指我们更容易记住我们最后听到的内容,所以应该以一个强有力的声明结束,说明你的旅程如何塑造了你,让你比任何人都更擅长现在所做的事情。 Al Elliott: 我认为,从商业角度来看,这种方法可以节省每个人的时间,包括你自己的时间。在社交活动中,你可以进行更多有意义的对话,而不是在一个冗长的自我介绍中浪费时间。而且,无聊的人不会引起别人的兴趣,人们会避开你。

Shownotes Transcript

Truth, Lies & Work is the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott.

This week, we’re joined by Forbes contributor and media founder Dr Cheryl Robinson to explore a skill every leader thinks they’ve mastered — but often haven’t: communication.

From delivering tough messages to owning your impact in the room, Cheryl shares how great communication can elevate your leadership, influence your career, and build meaningful connections at work.

If you’ve ever stumbled through a difficult conversation or wondered why your ideas aren’t landing — this episode is for you.

💡 Key Takeaways from Dr Cheryl Robinson

Leadership starts with clarity: You don’t need to shout to be heard — you need to know what you want to say and why it matters.

Authenticity is magnetic: People connect with people — not perfection. – Feedback is a gift: Learn how to take it, shape it, and use it to grow. – Visibility matters: If you’re not telling your story, someone else will.
