Or maybe you have too much to say? This week’s episode features a masterclass in chit-chat from Matt Abrahams, a lecturer in communications at Stanford University, podcast host and author of the book 'Think Faster, Talk Smarter'. Good conversation is an essential tool of self-promotion in the office. So what do we make of Matt’s advice here at the FT office? Host Isabel Berwick gets the views of award-winning FT columnist Pilita Clark and Stephen Bush, who writes the FT’s daily Inside Politics newsletter.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re an FT subscriber, you can find Isabel’s newsletter at https://www.ft.com/newsletters</p><p><br></p><p>-------</p><p>We love hearing from you.
