S5E13 – Bill Lennan: Making us 40% Better


Listen Later

This week we host Bill Lennan who will teach us how to be 40% better! He was a kit who was introverted and had social anxiety.. so Bill built his own toolkit.

 

As Bills tells his story...

 

  • Friend: How'd you get that role?
  • Me: Talking with strangers.
  • Friend: What?

  • Talking with strangers is a gateway skill.
    It enables you to talk with team-mates, stakeholders, leaders, execs, and clients. It also makes interviews way easier.
