When we avoid feeling awkward, we often miss an opportunity for growth, says workplace performance expert Henna Pryor. She shares tips on embracing discomfort for the sake of self-betterment and shows how pushing past the “cringe chasm” — the gap between how we perceive ourselves and how others see us — can open up chances to get ahead at work and in life. (Recorded at TEDxQueensVillage on September 2, 2022)
