The Social Skills Lab

This week we talk about attitude. Your attitude can be your greatest asset or your greatest hinderance depending on what you choose to bring. We also talk about applying what you learn because you can read books all day on dancing, but unless you apply what you know you will never get better until you do it, same goes with social skills, there is a ton to learn but none of it is going to stick unless you actually talk to people and try out the things you are learning. I always appreciate any support ; D https://www.patreon.com/TSSLpodcastpaypal.me/TSSLpodcastThank you!! - Nathan.  : DRecommended book - The Power of Now for learning how to Zen out and shrink your egoMusic by Wax Mustang Support the show
