72 The Power of Awkwardness with Workplace Performance Coach & Keynote Speaker Henna Pryor

"The power of The Only is the perfect description of my story, my battle, and my secret weapon." - Henna Pryor

How can we proactively begin to step into our unique power?

Today's guest Henna Pryor is, like me, a daughter of immigrant parents. She is a Workplace Performance Expert, an award-winning two-time TEDx speaker, and a professional executive coach. Her clients call her their “secret weapon for impossible change.” In this episode, she and I talk about leaning into our awkwardness instead of hiding it, and Henna shares where she gets her confidence from.

"Place small bets and do it awkward!" - Henna Pryor

Listen in to today's show as Henna shares tips for a successful TED Talk and we discuss the journey to find the source of our confidence. We also dive into the topics of enoughness, imagined potential, and more.

"If stepping out of line is not well behaved...then I don't want to be on the line." - Henna Pryor
