Sam Sanders

We're Pia and Kelly, co-founders of Cuore. We met at Amazon new-hire orientation 13 years ago, sitting at different tables, and ended up desk neighbors on the communications team. We've spent our careers obsessed with how words change what happens next, in boardrooms, in hallways, in the text you reread three times before sending. Well Said is our podcast about connection as a human skill. We talk... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Professor Who Learned Why Nouns vs. Verbs Can Reinvent How We Communicate | Christopher Bryan
Q: What are three tips you'd give based on your research about motivating people to take action?
Motivation comes first from linking new behavior to existing, meaningful priorities; a credible roadmap or explanation of how and when the action leads to a payoff; and finally, investing in people's development to help them see a future version of themselves that is worth the effort.
The Professor Who Learned Why Nouns vs. Verbs Can Reinvent How We Communicate | Christopher Bryan
Q: So if you had to tell our listeners based on all of the research that you have done on everything from how you influence people to how managers influence folks, what are those three tips?
Identify two interrelated steps: first, ensure any behavior you want people to adopt connects to a priority they already care about in the moment; second, provide a credible path and clear link to a concrete payoff, so people see how pursuing the behavior leads to a meaningful gain. The third tip is to invest in the person's development and show that you believe in them, which signals value and commitment from the organizer or leader.
