Episode description

Welcome to Calm Talks, where Adeel and Ant are ready to take on the daunting task of helping you overcome your approach anxiety and build your confidence in social situations.

We all know that approaching someone you don't know can be nerve-wracking, but it's time to leave those fears behind and develop the social skillset that will serve you in all areas of your life.

Join us in this episode as we dive into practical tips to help you build your confidence, starting with the power of experience. The more you put yourself out there, the more comfortable you become. We'll guide you through small steps like making small talk with people in your everyday life, like the cashier at the grocery store. These simple interactions can help you get comfortable with social interaction and build your confidence for larger conversations.

But what do you say to someone you're interested in talking to? We've got you covered with a simple opener that's as easy as saying "Hi, my name is Adeel (and hopefully you remember to use your name too)." Plus, we'll show you how to use your environment to make conversation, whether you're at a party, networking event or even on a coffee break.

It's not just about what you say, but also how you say it. We'll teach you the importance of having social EQ and reading the room, so you can adjust your approach accordingly. And most importantly, we'll remind you not to focus on the outcome of the conversation, but to enjoy the process of connecting with others.

So what are you waiting for? Tune in to this episode of Calm Talks, and let us guide you on your journey to developing your social skills and building your confidence. You'll come away with practical tips and a renewed sense of excitement for social interaction.
