Feel Better About Talking To Strangers With My Instant Ease and Confidence Programme. Designed Especially for Introverts!
Learn How To Handle Social Interactions With New People With A Smile, In Just 90 Minutes. With leading friendship & connection coach, Hannah Carmichael OBE.
So Easy That You Can Watch It On Your Lunch Break, Or Listen While You Drive!
Introverts, please believe me when I say that you don't need gimmicky 'social hacks' OR years in therapy to feel relaxed and confident going into conversations with people that you don't know very well.
If you:
- Are tired of feeling anxious and uncomfortable at the thought of spending time with people you don't know - whether socially, at work, or out and about;
- Worry about making other people feel uncomfortable, and fear being laughed at, ignored or left out;
- Know that you do things you shouldn't (e.g.: playing with your phone, drinking too much, or avoiding social situations altogether) to cope with how uncomfortable you feel;
- Just want to be able to show up, enjoy yourself, and have simple conversations, without overthinking, going blank, or getting annoyed with others or yourself?
...then I can help!
The Old Way Of Tackling Anxiety Around Talking To Strangers
You've tried smiling, tried 'active' listening, tried 'just being yourself'... yet you STILL feel awkward and anxious in social situations with people you don't know very well.
The truth is that while these strategies might make you look more confident, they don't make you feel better about handling situations where you have to talk to strangers. Why? Because they don't fix the core reason that you're feeling this way in the first place.
Whether you're thinking of seeking out some advice, or whether you already have, you'll soon realise that books, articles and other courses out there typically suggest one of two things.
They either focus on 'in the moment' techniques. Smile, breathe deeply, focus on what you can see, hear, touch, smell. Relax your muscles, ask good questions, put your shoulders back and so on.
Suggestions which might make a difference, if you remember to do them! But which - if you're anything like me - barely scratch the surface when your heart is pounding, your palms are sweating and your head is already full of worries and concerns.
Or, you'll see approaches which will emphasise that you need to do weeks or months of deep work. They'll tell you to:
- Explore and understand your triggers
- Build your self-esteem
- Learn to recognise and challenge negative thoughts
It's not that there isn't value in doing deeper work - there is! But we're all busy people, and it's hard to hear that we're going to have to invest hours of our lives in figuring all of this out, just so that we can have a casual conversation with someone!
And the underlying message - that you need to be 'fixed' before you can socialise successfully - is deeply flawed. I promise that there is NOTHING wrong with you. You just haven't learnt how to look at things the right way yet!
The New Way
That's my secret for now ;-)
But what if you had a tried-and-tested, introvert-friendly process designed JUST for people like you? Something you could fall back on at any time, that left you knowing exactly what to say and do, and helped you build a solid core of confidence as a foundation for future friendships.
You see, it's all to do with how you're thinking about situations where you have to talk to people you don't know. Whether it's a social event, a work situation, or even just a casual chat with someone at a bus stop or in a coffee shop - once you've learnt to see these kinds of situations the way I do, you'll get results faster than you ever imagined.
It all has to do with one key concept.
The thing is, it's so easy to build these kinds of interactions up in our heads.
We see 'awkward' social moments coming, and we get more and more nervous as they get closer.
Whether it's chatting to other parents at the school gates, waiting for a meeting to start, bumping into someone when we're out walking the dog. We feel ourselves getting more and more worked up. We run through worst case scenarios. We overthink how we're going to approach it.
We worry, we agonise. We make it mean so much. Will I say something stupid, will they think I’m boring, will they wish they were talking to someone else?
All of that worry, all of that energy, going into planning, anticipating, minimising the scope for things to go wrong. To the point where we barely remember what actually happens.
Think about that for a second – we’re worrying so much about what might happen, that we don’t pay that much attention to what’s actually going on (which usually ends up being much better than we thought it would be anyway). It’s crazy!
What if there was a different way?
Hi there!
I'm Hannah Carmichael, an introverted mum-of-one and a friendship & connection coach specialising in helping thoughtful, reflective types grow in confidence & learn how to have deeper, more meaningful conversations. I'd love to see you get the same results!
These days I love getting to know new people! But it wasn't always that way.
A few years ago, I struggled to get past the starting line. I seemed friendly, but inside I was just trying to get to the end of casual conversations as quickly as possible.
Researching how to make myself feel better, all I could see were strategies that never seemed to make much difference in the moment. I was tired of worrying about what I was going to say, cancelling plans at the last minute, changing my route so I wouldn't bump into people who might want to talk to me.
Eventually I learnt about mindset shift work - a completely new way of thinking about the situations I dreaded. I used the techniques I'd learnt myself, then gradually started incorporating them into my own practice. And everything changed! I realised I could quickly go from feeling stressed out, overwhelmed and anxious, to calmer, more centred and more in control. And could help my clients do likewise as well!
So how does it work?
The Rockpool Theory & The 4As Process
Imagine approaching these kinds of interactions feeling completely calm. Unbothered, even. Not worrying about what people are thinking, or whether you're getting it 'right' or 'wrong.'
Whether the interaction happens, whether it doesn’t, whether you say something, whether you don’t – you’re easy. Comfortable. Genuine. Whatever happens, you know you’re on the right track. You’ll be as relaxed as being on a warm beach in the middle of summer.
How?
Let me introduce you to the rockpool theory 😊
The rockpool theory teaches us a completely new way to think about the moments when we have to make polite conversation with strangers.
Rather than agonising over getting individual moments 'right,' you’ll learn to see the big picture with ease. A perspective that will help you calmly and confidently approach every single social interaction during the course of the day - and walk away feeling okay, no matter what happens during them. You might even start to feel a sense of curiosity or excitement in the run-up to these kinds of situations, instead of nervousness and dread!
Using the rockpool theory, I'll teach you how to:
- Uncover and reframe the secret assumptions and hidden beliefs that are holding you back from showing up as relaxed, genuine and engaged;
- Leave other people feeling heard, valued and respected, making them want to spend more time with you, too;
- Pick up on vital clues about how other people are feeling, and tune in more effectively to your own feelings too;
- Make more empowered, conscious choices about 'what to do next' (i.e.; whether to carry on the conversation, switch topics, leave etc)
- Get perspective on how much importance to place on any given social interaction
The framework can be used to handle every type of casual interaction, from one-to-one chats to large group situations, with ease, and will help you to feel more able to just enjoy the moment, with pressure.
I'll teach you all this - and more - in just 90 minutes. Because 'Talking to Strangers' has been designed for busy people just like you. Join now to learn more about EXACTLY how it works!
