About this listen

 This is Thinking in Loud. A space where we slow down, reflect, and dive deeper into our thoughts that shape us. I am Siddharth Tallur, an educator, an engineer and an entrepreneur. On this podcast, I dig deep into my thoughts and share them out loud in their raw form. I am not afraid to pause, to question, and to let things get a little complicated. If you’re ready to slow down and reflect on these thoughts, you’ll enjoy what I have in store on this podcast.Sid Social Sciences

I talk about how effective work is less about doing and more about promising (clear requests), aligning (agreements), and closing loops (declarations of satisfaction).

    In this episode, I share three stories based on problems I faced in my research career. For each of them, I had a different response - persist, adapt and give up. How do you decide which response is acceptable whenever you face a challenge?
