BEE Less Awkward Presented by: Lydia Thung, Iris Wen and Annie Gu
Why are we so awkward? • Do you sweat unbelievably when you are in front of a crowd? • Does your face turn bright red when you are around new people? • Does your body shake? • Do you interrupt people when they are talking because you’re anticipating your turn? • Do you stand without motion when everyone is socializing?
Is this how you talk to people?Note: It might make them feel uncomfortable.
Leadership and Confidence • What makes someone confident? • What are some ways to boost your self-esteem to make you feel more confident? • Brainstorm some ideas… what are some things that would help you improve as a leader? • Body Language • Relax • When to talk, & when not to talk • Eye Contact
Improv Ice Breaker • Trying not to be awkward can mean taking risks & stepping out of your comfort zone • Public speaking is the most common fear among most people • Any volunteers to try it out?
Follow-up for Ice Breaker • What did this teach us? What did the volunteers do correctly? What did the volunteers do awkwardly? • The point here is that we must be ready for the unexpected. • Sometimes you’ll be caught off guard, but just try to keep your cool, and you’ll be fine! • Have fun!
Confidence Without Arrogance • We don’t want to be those super confident people who come off arrogant and demeaning • Be approachable • Be sincere • Be humble • Be honest and forthcoming • When you’re wrong, admit it and laugh it off
Sooooo…. Just remember to be confident and believe in yourself. Don’t overthink what you’re doing and saying. Be yourself. Any questions???
