Social Skills Mastery

253. From Survival Mode to Social Ease: The Secret Anxiety Hiding Behind Success


Listen Later

In this episode, Susan responds to a listener's inquiry about social confidence in professional situations, and she breaks down the hidden side of high-level leadership: social anxiety that shows up as overthinking, self-doubt, and the quiet fear of looking stupid. You'll discover why this pattern often begins in childhood, how it plays out in your daily professional life, and what to do to change it permanently.

You'll learn how to:

· Understand and normalize anxiety without letting it define you.

· Reframe networking and client conversations so they feel natural, not performative.

· Use practical, in-the-moment confidence tools that calm your nervous system and sharpen your presence.

· Create a work experience that feels lighter, more authentic, and genuinely enjoyable again.

If you've ever felt like everyone else has it figured out while you're still managing secret nerves, episode #253 will change how you see yourself, your confidence, and your career.
