162. Unlock Career Opportunities: How to Make the Right Moves

Become a Faster Smarter Supporter by joining TFTS Premium. Being present in the moment and staying open to whatever unfolds. We all want to lead lives and careers full of joy and fulfillment. Maggie Baird certainly has, and the key, she says, is to stay open to new possibilities and “let your passion lead.” Baird is an accomplished actress, improv teacher at the Groundlings Theater, mother to music sensations Billie Eilish and Phineas, and founder of Support and Feed, a nonprofit addressing food equity and the climate crisis. Through it all, she has embodied the improv principle of "Yes, and..." — being present in the moment and staying open to whatever unfolds. “I have done many things,” she says, “but I never approached any of them as a career change. They all came out of new interests and new experiences.” In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Baird joins host Matt Abrahams to explore the critical role of communication in developing a career, and how improv principles can help us engage, as Baird says, “From a place of open-heartedness, appreciation, [and] collaboration.” Episode Reference Links: Support And Feed Ep.118 Maximizing your Personal Brand: Communicating Who You Are to Help Get What You Want Ep.1 Speaking Without a Net: How to Master Impromptu Communication Ep.9 Quick Think: How Being Present-Oriented Improves Communication  Connect: Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.io Episode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart Website Newsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.io Think Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube Matt Abrahams >>> LinkedIn Chapters: (00:00) - Introduction (01:43) - Career Transitions (02:35) - Teaching and Confidence Through Improv (04:53) - Improv as a Communication Tool (06:35) - Structure and Freedom in Improv (08:27) - Teaching with Empathy (11:24) - Advocacy in the Music Industry (14:08) - Collaboration and Positive Change (16:57) - The Final Three Questions (18:36) - Conclusion
