    Is everyone really judging you?

    Belief you need to unlearn: Everyone is constantly judging you. Unlearning this can make you more socially successful, a better communicator and help you stop overthinking social situations. Why is this important? Believing everyone is judging you can paralyze you in social situations, making you hesitant to speak up in meetings, approach new people, or share your ideas. Letting go of this belief can unlock new opportunities—leading to better relationships, increased confidence, and less overthinking. In this episode of the BMC podcast, I’ll help you unlearn this belief. You’ll learn... ✅ People are too focused on themselves to notice you. ✅ Why ocial mishaps are quickly forgotten by others. ✅ Consistent practice builds confidence and helps you push through fear.

    Do you have to step out of your comfort zone to be interesting?

    Do you have to step out of your comfort zone to be interesting? Yes, but shattering your comfort zone isn’t the answer, do this instead. Let's dig in. Good things happen outside your comfort zone. If we all stayed within our comfort zones, we'd be on the couch watching Reels all day. While that's safe and low-risk, it means missing out on opportunities for growth. Stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to meeting new people, starting relationships, finding new job opportunities, and discovering new hobbies. All these experiences help you grow and become more interesting. I cover more on the latest BMC podcast episode… Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Most good things, like new relationships and opportunities, require a little risk. Overcome the fear of social rejection by adopting the mindset of "I'll go once just to see if I like it." Avoid the all-or-nothing mindset. Start small by trying one or two new eve per month. NEXT STEP: QUIZ - Do you know what your communication style is?

    You don't have to like everyone, and not everyone has to like you.

    Do you ever feel nervous meeting new people? Here's a game-changing concept: You don't have to like everyone, and not everyone has to like you.  This realization can make your interactions smoother and less nerve-wracking. ✅ Embrace that not every interaction will be magical. ✅ Increase your "surface area of luck" by meeting more people. ✅ Focus on your 50% of the interaction—be open and enthusiastic. I's about quantity leading to quality. I cover more on this episode. NEXT STEP: QUIZ - Do you know what your communication style is? Take this quiz and get a custom report based on your results.

    Do you fall into the "Perfection Trap"?

    A belief that you need to unlearn is “You need to be perfect to succeed” “Perfect” can take many forms socially... “I need to say something really profound in this meeting.”  “I could say that thing, but it’s not interesting enough.”  “I could ask this question, but it might sound silly.” "Perfect" is that imaginary bar that you need to jump over to give yourself permission to speak up.  It's a trap! This belief can hold you back because it makes it harder to take action and practice.  Why is this important? The more you practice, the better you get. If you can unlearn this belief, you'll take more action and unlock opportunities in your professional and personal life. I cover how you can unlearn this belief on the newest episode of the BMC podcast! NEXT STEP: QUIZ - Do you know what your communication style is?
