Why reality TV is the best communications teacher

169: Sam and Juliette from Siesta Key teach me more about communication than my Bachelor's Degree in the same field. Shep from Southern Charm shows me how using high-level vocabulary is a way to exert dominance in a conversation, but he does so in the douchiest way possible.Why am I referencing reality TV? Because it taught me SO MUCH about non-verbal and verbal cues, making connections, and resolving conflict - all components of strong communication.When you know how to communicate effectively, you've scored the golden ticket to life.Communication skills will help you: Meet strangers while traveling (imagine clinking glasses of sangria after a random cooking class and then grabbing drinks later - I'll tell you the story of this happening to me!) Date confidently (the world is opening up and IRL dates are back - communication is key) Negotiate your salary like a San Fransisco tech bro (aka get paid without questioning your skill set) Resolving a conflict with a family member (I share how blowing up on a sibling via text was not my finest moment) Interviewing someone for your show (a skill that transcends the airwaves - this will get you VERY far in life. I share specific examples)If you're hoping to learn the skill of communicating, Interview & Hosting Lab is for you. Join us right HERE.References:Brené Brown podcast with Dr. Amishi JhaLet's connect!

How to stop putting people on pedestals

168: Influencers, celebs and mega coaches are often treated as mythical Gods. We think they’re untouchable, immune to the suffering life brings, and have zero worries in the world.We think they don’t deal with the “everyday” things we do — paying an extra $25 on DoorDash for a 14 inch pizza that costs $18 or feeling insecure when their crush ghosts them on Date 3.When we put them on pedestals, we dehumanize them. In the same vein, we make ourselves small. The automatic comparison and projection prompts self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and keeps us stuck in a constant cycle of feeling inspired, then comparing, sabotaging or worse, staying stuck and never trying at all.In today’s solo ep, Chelsea deep dives into this concept. Why do we put so much weight into social following? Why are we so quick to take IG photos as truth? Why don’t we use more discernment when making snap judgments?She also shares ways to take people off of pedestals so you can finally get out there and shoot your shot. Pitch that host. Message your fave mentor to come on your podcast. Land a dream guest interview.Your stories matter.If you’re interested in learning more about these mindset strategies, especially as it comes to creating and conversing with other people, you’ll love Interview & Hosting Lab. It’s a 2 hour workshop all about the art & science of storytelling and hosting jaw-dropping interviews.You can learn more and register right here.References mentioned in this episode: The School of Life - On Melancholy Forbes Under 30 Summit with Alexandra CooperCONNECT WITH CHELSEA: Website: chelseariffe.com IG: @chelseariffe + @nonexpertopinionpod Email: info@chelseariffe.com Work with Chelsea: https://www.chelseariffe.com/linksConnect with Chelsea: 💻 Website 🎤 1:1 Podcast Coaching 🎙 Launch your podcast with the ultimate podcast launch course - Mic Drop! 📲 Instagram 📲 ✈️ Slight Turbulence Substack - the travel magazine you wish existed on the back of airplane seats 🔗 Pitch Perfect is coming back late Fall 2025.
