Big Think, 4 min, NaN views, Oct 13, 2025

Show description

When you get together for coffee with a friend, how does the conversation go? “Well, here’s my perfect life — how’s yours?” Probably not. More likely, you share your worries, swap hard-won advice, and, as a result, leave the interaction feeling a bit more seen. According to communication expert Jefferson Fisher, openness is what creates a real connection. And it can be a helpful thing to remember at work, too. In this video lesson, Fisher shares why revealing your struggles doesn’t demonstrate weakness but instead builds connection and credibility ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jefferson Fisher: Jefferson Fisher is a Texas board certified personal injury attorney, business owner, and communication expert.
