Social coach Sarah joins us to discuss the art of effective workplace communication and building confidence in professional interactions. We explore how making others feel valued is more important than what you actually say, and why being yourself beats trying to emulate "LinkedIn bros." • The true secret to successful conversations is focusing on how others feel, not on having perfect responses • Charisma is different from social skills – you don't need the former to excel at the latter • Speaking out loud to yourself helps build comfort and confidence with your own voice • The "weekend question" is the ultimate small talk tool that works Monday through Friday • Setting boundaries professionally while still being personable requires transparency without judgment • Finding people who match your energy level is better than trying to change flaky friends • Social skills are like any other skill – they require practice and will feel awkward at first If you want to improve your social skills or need help with workplace interactions, visit https://www.socialwsarah.com/ to schedule a one-on-one coaching session.
