The new year is a great time to reflect on our personal goals and harness our strengths and emotions to reach them. Today’s guest explains how even awkwardness, in social situations, can be a powerful tool to get where you want to go this new year. In this episode we talk with Henna Pryor, a fellow University of Delaware alumna (go Fighting Blue Hens!), on the topic of Good Awkward. During this entertaining and insightful discussion, Henna shares pieces from her book by the same name, “Good Awkward,”; discusses how awkwardness is unique from other emotions; and shares first-hand lessons she’s learned from her own awkward moments.
