Humans don't like feeling uncomfortable, whether it's communication-specific, or just related to life in general. But just feeling safe, secure, and certain keeps us in a stagnant state of mediocrity. And you're not a mediocre person right? (Besides, life is never just secure or certain.)
So ask yourself... Am I comfortable or nah?

Know it? Or do you tell yourself things like, "I'm not good at this. I'm just not a good communicator."
Look, learning about things like eye contact, vocal variety & body language is easy. But it doesn't mean squat if your mindset is f*cked up.
In this episode, I talk about 3 mindset shifts we need to make NOW in 2020 if we want to have success in communication going forward.
