In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Henna Pryor, author of Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become the Bravest You.
Henna’s a workplace performance expert, a global keynote speaker, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She’s been featured in Forbes, Real Simple, Fast Company, and more.
And Henna’s the author of Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become the Bravest You.
Henna and I discuss her lessons to help you become a better risk taker; to help you strengthen your mental muscles; and to help you be braver in moments when it really counts.
Here’s what we discuss:
- How embracing your awkwardness is good for your personal brand
- Why embracing your awkwardness is not just about being comfortable with discomfort
- How to reframe our mindsets around awkward situations
- How to build your social muscle for awkwardness tolerance
- Why a “bad idea brainstorm” is a good idea to implement in business meetings
- How role-playing and mock interviews actually reduce awkwardness
- Why embracing awkward moments is a strength vs. a weakness
- How to help your kids embrace their own awkwardness
