  329: Henna Pryor | Why Getting Good at Awkward Changes Everything 20.08.2026 59Min.

  Henna Pryor, workplace performance expert, executive coach, bestselling author of Good Awkward, and award-winning two-time TEDx and keynote speaker, joins me on this episode. Henna was named a SUCCESS Magazine Woman of Influence and has spoken to global organizations including Google, Johnson & Johnson, and JPMorgan Chase. She's been featured in popular media outlets including Forbes, NBC, The Washington Post, Business Insider, and Fast Company. Henna has spent much of her life thinking about what other people think, navigating the discomfort that comes with not fitting expectations, and learning what happens when we stop trying to avoid awkwardness and instead get better at it. Her work explores why awkwardness is a natural part of being human and how learning to navigate it can help us become more confident, courageous, creative, and connected. In our conversation, Henna shares the science behind awkwardness, why our social muscles may be getting weaker, and practical strategies we can use to become more comfortable with discomfort. 🎙️ What We Discuss: ✅ Where awkwardness comes from, the difference between good and bad awkward, and why getting good at it can make us more courageous ✅ How worrying about what other people think shapes our decisions and why abandoning ourselves is also a risk ✅ Why our social muscles are getting weaker and the importance of intentionally building our social fitness ✅ How to navigate awkward moments in real time using awareness, humor, and the willingness to name the awkwardness ✅ Why achievement isn't identity and the importance of becoming more intentional about how we spend our time and what we say yes to ✅ And much more!

  Dr. Ron Friedman, award-winning social psychologist, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams, joins me on this episode of the Business Minds Coffee Chat podcast. After experiencing dramatically different workplace cultures throughout his career, Ron became fascinated by a simple question: What do the best teams do differently? To find out, Ron and his research team surveyed thousands of workers across a wide range of industries and discovered that only 8% of teams qualified as Superteams.
