Devon Ash joins us to share about social fluency and human connection. From moving throughout his childhood on a yearly basis and then having skin cancer at the young age of 23, he learned practical strategies for reading the room, understanding body language, high-status humor and enhancing conversational agility. Devon then moved on to helping countless individuals navigate social situations with confidence and authenticity.
Devon discusses the importance of facing discomfort as a means to build confidence and resilience. He explains that the journey of social fluency is slow and steady, and allowing yourself to gradually face small fears can lead to significant personal transformation. Devon exposes the damage we inflict from making self-deprecating jokes compared with boosting your self-confidence through high-level humor. Devon stresses the significance of taking action regardless of your current situation or experience level, that starting somewhere and making consistent efforts is better than waiting for the perfect moment.
