Description

This week, I had the privilege to sit down with workplace performance expert, author, and speaker, Henna Pryor. She explains how embracing awkwardness can be a competitive advantage and shares practical strategies for building confidence through vulnerability.

Episode Highlights:

• The most confident people don't avoid awkwardness 
• The "spotlight effect" 
• "What gave you butterflies today?" 
• Specific questions help pre-teens and teens open up more meaningfully
• Building "social muscle" through intentional practice helps combat social anxiety
