OMG OMG 😍😍😍 before I watch this video I just wanted to express how incredibly thrilled I am to see VVE here!!! Vanessa if you read this I know my comment is too highly warm and not at all competent 😂 I am just so grateful for you and your influence in the improvement of my people skills!! You are an exceptional teacher and thought- leader. Thanks for everything 🙏🏻🙏🏻 And Aileen you have an extraordinary gift of influencing people by being authentic and relatable 🤔 you wouldn't think the 2 words go well together. Specifically, you are probably to me the only online presence that can remain relatable thru all of my seasons and changes. You grow and change just like any of us, but what’s special about you is your ability in sharing those more intimate experiences and insights with us viewers within your always helpful, practical and reliable self improvement contents. And consistently!❤️ Last but not least, your guests in your podcasts all came from different backgrounds. All have refreshing and inspiring wisdom to share. Thank you for everything ❤️

I saw a tiktok video about short conversations at parties with a lot going on and the guy recommended to close one conversation with someone by asking "hey what do you recommend I try from the buffet?" or "it was great talking to you, who do you think I should go talk to next?". I found that subtle but respectful.
