Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right! Your company just got bought and your future there is uncertain. Is this week's holiday party an ideal networking event with the new overlords? The best way to get depressed and down on ourselves is to assume that we can read other people's minds. Negative feedback needs to be taken in balance. (If we took our negative feedback at The Art of Charm too much to heart, we wouldn't have two shows under our belts -- let alone 574 full episodes, 31 Minisode Mondays, 93 Fan Mail Fridays, and regular bonuses along the way.) You've followed our advice for attracting new people into your life (particularly Kira Asatryan's Stop Being Lonely tips from episode 504). But what happens when you seem to attract particularly needy people? In our recent interview with returning guest Philip McKernan, Jordan got into the preparation required to make a good show. When it comes to life, are you fully preparing for your show? Q: How many shrinks does it take to change a light bulb? A: The light bulb has to want to change. A good friend making poor decisions may be a lot like that light bulb -- he or she may not even want your good advice. Quick shoutouts to Anna in Norway and Chris Rudolph on the road that intersected with AJ and Johnny! Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us? Drop us a line at [email protected]!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason to
0:04.2	fill up out here at AOC. We may not have all the answers, but we certainly have a lot of the
0:08.8	questions today. Of course, on FAMILLE Friday, those questions, those come from you. And if you're
0:12.9	new to AOC, if you're new to the Art of Charm podcast, FAMILLE Friday is kind of a weird place to
0:17.6	start. You're welcome here, of course. But most of our content is more in-depth. It's a longer
0:21.8	format. Maybe an interview with somebody that you've heard of. So check out the best of at theartofcharm.com
0:27.4	slash best or the fundamentals toolbox at theartofcharm.com slash toolbox. That's where we keep our
0:33.2	tops, not so top secret fundamentals of reading body language and nonverbal communication,
0:37.7	the science of attraction, negotiation techniques, influence persuasion, networking and
0:42.0	relationship development, all the goodness that we teach here at the Art of Charm. And we'll send
0:46.5	all that to your inbox. If you text charmed, C-H-A-R-M-E-D, to 3, 3, 4, 4, 4 here in the States,
0:53.3	or anywhere else, just go to theartofcharm.com. All right, let's cut to it.
1:23.3	For now, however, the future seems vague as there's a whole department that performs my duties.
1:28.3	And when the company integrates completely, it's very unclear about my place. So far, I've heard
1:33.1	good feedback about my performance, but again, I don't know if this will get me career growth.
1:37.6	My company became part of a much larger organization that has multiple individual firms engaged in
1:42.6	different businesses. In about 10 days, we're all going to attend a corporate holiday party.
1:47.5	So finally, here's my question. Can you please give me some tips on what to say,
1:51.4	do, or how to act during the event? I'm treating it as a networking opportunity and want to get my name
1:56.6	out. Thank you and happy holidays. Best Dasha. Hey, Dasha, glad to hear you're a new fan. I'm even
2:02.4	more glad to hear that you're putting what you learn into action. Now, I think it's very wise to
2:07.3	begin networking and creating relationships within the new company. This gives you stronger roots
