When did introducing yourself become the most anxiety-filled, shameful experience?
Remember when we were little and we couldn’t wait to say, “Hi! I’m Erica and my favorite color is blue!”
Or if you were really cool like me, it went more like this…..
“Hi! I’m Erica! That’s like ‘America’ without the ‘a’ and the ‘m’!”
I know, I know. My cleverness was seriously mind-blowing!
Introducing yourself used to be so fun. And then LA had to poop all over it.
Because now, we introduce ourselves as our job. And when your current job is nowhere near what you really want to be doing, it can make you cringe at the question, “So what do you do?”
