In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Henna Pryor, author of Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become the Bravest You.

Henna’s a workplace performance expert, a global keynote speaker, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She's been featured in Forbes, Real Simple, Fast Company, and more.

And Henna’s the author of Good Awkward. How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become the Bravest You.

Henna and I discuss her lessons to help you become a better risk taker; to help you strengthen your mental muscles; and to help you be braver in moments when it really counts.

Here’s what we discuss:

How embracing your awkwardness is good for your personal brand
Why embracing your awkwardness is not just about being comfortable with discomfort
How to reframe our mindsets around awkward situations
How to build your social muscle for awkwardness tolerance
Why a “bad idea brainstorm” is a good idea to implement in business meetings
How role-playing and mock interviews actually reduce awkwardness
Why embracing awkward moments is a strength vs. a weakness
How to help your kids embrace their own awkwardness
