Summary
I talk about how to avoid conversations with inconvenient people, and how you can flip the script and only share what you want to share without coming off as awkward or rude. I also share some strategies for dealing with interrupters, what to do when people are on their phone while you are talking, and much more.
"We have to be discerning about who we are talking to, because what's appropriate in one situation wouldn't be appropriate in another." - Terri Cole.
