Have you ever made a bad first impression? Or messed up in an interaction?

Or just wondered how you can deepen a relationship that is important to you?

No matter how social you might describe yourself and how much social interaction you need to feel happy, connection is a big part of the human experience.

At work, in life, a lot happens (or doesn’t happen) because of connection.

And that can be the most frustrating, challenging, nerve-wracking thing. Or the most magical, fun, and meaningful thing!

In today’s episode, I dive with you into the human brain to see what it is doing around other people. And how you can use that to maximize your chances of building great connections.

On the agenda:

👉 What the brain is looking for when connecting

👉 How to not trigger red flags in people’s brains

👉 3 habits to improve connection

Enjoy this episode!

🔊 “What I can tell you about other people’s brains (and your own, because your brain is also doing that too) is that it is constantly scanning the environment for threats. Rewards as well, but primarily threats. Meaning their brain is going to assess whether you are a safe bet. Whether you are a friend or a foe. And it will do that during every single interaction you have, not just the first time you meet. It can work for you or against you if you are not mindful.”

Curious? Let’s go! 🎧
