Bratmica here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast.

Last year I had image consultant Francis Colton Jones on the podcast to discuss her book,

How To Wow, Proven Strategies to Sell Your Brilliant Self.

At the end of that episode, Francis invited A.A.

and podcast listeners to ask her questions via her website about anything pertaining to personal

presentation and social skills like job interviews, small talk, public speaking and so on.

And boy did you guys respond.

Francis and I figured if one of you guys had a certain question, there are probably hundreds

So we've created this quarterly series on the podcast called Ask Francis where Francis will

answer some of the questions you will all submit to her on our website.

In today's edition, Francis provides tips on what to do if you lose your train of thought

while speaking, happy to me several times, how to avoid coming across like a know-it-all,

how to handle a braggart at the office, and an extremely tiny topic with the presidential

election less than a month away, how to discuss politics with someone with differing political

views tactfully and respectfully.

Answer to those dilemmas and more coming up.
