"Just fake it until you make it!"
This is popular advice-especially if you're trying to improve your people skills.
Should you fake it until you make it?
The more we take action and do something, the more our identity moves to align with the version of us that does that new thing.
Our thoughts FOLLOW our actions.
In this episode, I'll walk you through a couple of tips that will help you make it, (and not fake it.)

Should you care what other people think?
There’s a lot of advice floating around telling us to not care what other people think. (Sometimes in more...colorful language than that.)
I’ve never liked the concept of NGAF.
But the reality is, caring less about the outcome of any given social interaction can massively help your people skills.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through a couple of exercises that will help you declare “outcome independence” with some help from Tim Ferriss and the ancient Stoics.

Have you ever been talking to someone and it seems like they already know what they’re going to say, and they’re just waiting for you to stop talking so they can say what they want?
I call this the “spring-loaded response trap” and it signals to the other person that you’ve checked out of the conversation.
(Not a good look if you want to have better interactions with other people.)
Often, this happens because people lock on to something they KNOW they can respond to in conversation. And then they stop listening.
If you feel like you may be guilty of this…in this episode, we'll cover what you can do about it.

There's this jerk of a cognitive bias called the Spotlight Effect.
We tend to place more importance on ourselves in any given social situation.
And we tend to overestimate the amount that other people notice us.
When it comes to improving our people skills, this isn't helpful.
Here's how to use it to your advantage!
