Tis the season… for socializing! Warning: This episode will change the conversation game at your next family gathering, office party and every ugly sweater party in between! Paula sits down with bestselling author, popular speaker (over 50M views on her YouTube tutorials) and self-described “recovering awkward person,” Vanessa Van Edwards, for one awesomely helpful conversation. Today, as founder of Science of People (https://www.scienceofpeople.com/ ), Vanessa found a way to turn her fascination with people into a calling to help others. In this episode you’ll learn the small swaps to keep your conversations off autopilot, ways to optimize both the areas where you are your best self and your most awkward self, and how to ask the right questions to unlock the connection you’ve been craving.
