The good people at Merriam-Webster define RELATABLE as possible to understand, like, or have sympathy for because of similarities to oneself or one's own experiences. Being relatable is a critical, contemporary skill because if I can see myself in some aspect of you, your values or your situation, I am much more likely to pay attention to you and what you are saying.
Joining me on this episode of Camera Ready & Abel is Rachel DeAlto who quite literally wrote the book on being relatable.
Rachel is a relationship expert (you know her from Lifetime’s Married at First Sight and TLC’s Kate+Date), coach, media personality, speaker, and now the author of “Relatable: How to Connect with Anyone Anywhere (Even if It Scares You).”
Rachel generously shares deep insights on the power of our words, how to work through social anxiety and the effectiveness of communicating with ESP: Empathetic, Straight Forward, and Positive.
Rachel's impressive background includes a law degree, a Master’s in psychology, and an influential social media presence. Rachel is a frequent guest on television including The TODAY Show, Access Hollywood Live, and Fox News and has given three TEDx talks including Being Authentic in a Filtered World which is featured on TED.com.
