Reminding People What It Means To Be HUMAN Again With Devon Ash
Manage episode 429218467 series 3508917
When was the last time you heard someone say they ‘picked up’ their new date at a bar? And whilst it’s so easy to swipe left or right when you’re hidden behind your keyboard, could you do it in person to someone’s face? Here to remind us of the lost art that is offline social skills is Devon Ash, a communication and relationship coach (and co-founder of professional coaching company Social Fluency) who specialises in helping singles find love through real-world engagement. As society becomes more and more digital, our social interactions are suffering as we lose confidence and ability in previously ‘normal’ situations like professional networking - and dating. Devon takes a light-hearted and gentle approach to reteaching skills that were previously a core part of society, but now strike fear or exhaustion in even the most experienced of dating singles. We’ll dive into anxiety-inducing scenarios (being stuck talking to a stranger in the grocery aisle, anyone?) and how we can reframe our mindset and become more open to new experiences with new people. Devon explains how we can navigate the modern world of dating and learn to embrace the evolution of social interactions.
We’re going to chat about:
☎️ Technology and the ‘digital age’, and the effect of this on relationships
☎️ Creating boundaries and becoming assertive as women
☎️ Recognising the potential in people and allowing time for growth
☎️ Social skills: tips and tricks to master the art of conversation
Listen to my conversation with Devon this week, as we go back to our roots as humans and remind ourselves that we have the ability to win friends and influence people on our own terms!
Whilst you’re practising your real life social interactions, if you want to connect with Devon he is still happy to chat on his socials, or you can head to his website for more resources.
If you’d like to see how developing his own social skills paid off in the form of a meet-cute with his wife, head to YouTube to watch the video he mentioned.
