Awkwardness is part of life. But not many of us know how to navigate it, let alone leverage it for success. During this episode, Henna Pryor joins us to discuss the superpower of embracing awkwardness. Among her many accolades, she is an award-winning TEDx speaker, sought-after workplace expert, and international keynote speaker. Tuning in, you’ll hear all about Henna’s experiences of growing up and feeling awkward, entering the staffing industry, and finding her calling in speaking. Learn how she has honed her skills as a powerful public speaker, how she went about testing for and establishing an audience for her book, and what her life as a speaker looks like in a day-to-day sense. Henna shares her perspective on our weakening social musculature and offers a definition for awkwardness and ‘good awkwardness’. We discuss using embarrassment to create loyalty, why you should never cater to your audience, and what it looks like to prioritize your response to this inevitable experience. Thanks for tuning in!
