RIP Dolly. She was a legend and an inspiration. Dolly had a trick to handle people who talk down to you - and you can steal it the next time someone’s patronizing to you. In this iconic 1978 interview with Barbara Walters, considered one of the toughest interviewers in the world, Dolly responds to Barbara’s questions about her appearance (‘you don’t have to look like that’) and whether she’s actually a hillbilly. Watch to see how Dolly handles it with grace and class. I taught communication at Duke for 10+ years and Dolly aced this. Follow me for more. by @dorieclark

Sandra Bullock has a trick to shut down creepy comments - and you can use it too, the next time someone keeps asking invasive questions and won't let it go. In 2009, Sandra appeared on The Today Show to talk about her movie The Proposal. Matt Lauer, the now-disgraced host, kept pressing her to talk about her nude scene. Watch the classy way Sandra redirected the conversation. I taught communication at Duke and Columbia, and this is worth watching. Follow me for more on becoming a better communicator. by @dorieclark

Steve Jobs had a trick to tell unforgettable stories - and you can borrow it too, the next time you have to give a speech or a presentation. Most people focus too much on the words they’re using and not enough on the structure of their talk, which is the most important part. I taught communication at Duke and Columbia, and Steve’s classic 2005 Stanford commencement speech is worth watching to understand the structure of a great talk.
