You walk into a conference. You don't know anyone. Everyone seems to already be in clusters: laughing, exchanging cards, working the room.

And you're standing at the edge of it, wondering what's wrong with you.


For most of my career, that's how I felt.


In this solo follow-up to my conversation with Naama Nicotra, CEO of NakedPak, I'm naming the playbook Naama was running without calling it one, and the one I had to figure out for myself before I called myself a coach.


Spoiler: it's three moves. One drink. One person. One question.


In this episode:

  • The first big conference I ever went to (Java One 2001), and why I was terrified to walk into a single session alone
  • Why "just put yourself out there" is the wrong instruction for introverts, and what actually works
  • The 1-on-1 superpower (and the paid speaking gig I got because of it)
  • What I told a client this week, who's scared her team will leave because she's not chatty enough
  • Why people actually leave their managers , and it has nothing to do with whether you're their best buddy


If you've ever stood at the edge of a room thinking something was wrong with you, this episode is for you.
