How to be Unforgettable: Be more awkward

Linkedin
About this episode

This week, we’re closing out our two part series on How to be Unforgettable. Often, we consider our awkward moments as unforgettable in an embarrassing way, but today’s guest challenges us to look at those social blunders as opportunities for growth. Henna Pryor is the author of "Good Awkward: How to Embrace the Embarrassing and Celebrate the Cringe to Become The Bravest You". She and Jessi take a silver lining approach to their cringiest moments and take a look into why they mean so much.
