Matt Abrahams

It's a confluence of several things, but it turns out with my last name, Abrahams, A-B, I always went first through school, literally from kindergarten through university. I always knew where I sat. I always sat front row, closest to the door. So whenever the teachers, and I am a teacher and I know it's just easier to do things alphabetically, I would always be called on first.

The interactions that we're having, both in person and virtually, require us to speak spontaneously and to shift very quickly as we do it.

So growing up, I just got used to having to speak spontaneously. My friends whose last names were later in the alphabet would always thank me. They said, thank you because you would start and it would give me time to think and plan and prepare. So part of my ability to speak better spontaneously, and I can certainly improve as can all of us, came from experience.

I don't know if I would say hurting. It's definitely changing and challenging it. There are more ways to communicate, and some of those ways are actually really helpful to us. We can be more efficient in our communication. We can spend more time with it because of tools that help us get messages out more quickly. At the same time, we miss the opportunity to connect.

Practice and experience is a large part of what helps us get better at all communication. It's like an athlete. Athletes train to be spontaneous. They do a lot of drills. So in the game, they can be agile and respond to what happens. And we can all do the same thing. I, either through good fortune or dumb luck with my last name, got a lot of reps early on in life.
