Prepare to be inspired and informed as we engage with the incredible Tracy Hooper, founder of the Confidence Project and author of the Now Hello. She opens up about her journey from a family of journalists to becoming a professional communicator herself. Tracy's advice on confidently introducing oneself and the significance of physical connection such as making eye contact and shaking hands is just the tip of the iceberg.
Transitions can be tough, especially in your career. Tracy expounds on the essential role of communication when navigating through these shifts. She offers practical tips on choosing the right words to elevate your professional presence and shares an inspiring tale of how she sowed the seeds of her business. Her mission of teaching essential communication skills originally targeted at young women, has now grown to include everyone. Don't miss her enlightening perspective!
The power of words cannot be underestimated. Tracy and I explore this topic in depth, discussing our choices of words, how to substitute them with more effective ones, and the reasons behind the frequent use of disclaimers. We examine the importance of validators and how something as simple as replacing "I'm sorry" with "thank you" can transform a conversation. At the heart of it all is Tracy's mission through the Confidence Project, empowering people to feel good about themselves without the need for an apology. So, are you ready to step up your communication game? Let's get started!
