Getting Good at Awkward with Henna Pryor
I was sure this interview was going to be awkward…
In this episode, I sit down with workplace performance expert, speaker, and author of “Good Awkward,” Henna Pryor to unpack why discomfort, uncertainty, and “butterflies” are not obstacles to growth, but signals that you’re doing something that matters.
We talk about why awkwardness isn’t a personality trait, how leaders accidentally create the conditions they say they don’t want, and why naming discomfort can actually accelerate trust, influence, and performance.
Henna shares powerful stories from her own career pivot, practical strategies leaders can use to normalize experimentation, and why mental skills, not just technical skills, are the real competitive advantage in today’s workplace.
We also dig into influence, authenticity, and what she calls “signal integrity” in a world full of noise, AI, and polished highlight reels.
If you lead people, build teams, or are trying to grow without losing your nerve, this conversation will give you language, perspective, and courage to lean into the awkward moments that fuel real progress.
