the most interesting woman in the room

from Elevator · host Blanka Kamila

Blanka Kamila returns to YouTube with ‘the most interesting woman in the room’, where she discusses the luck, exposure, and confidence that the right hobbies will bring. We learn about the four most important types of hobbies, their benefits, and  how to implement them into your life; and how to choose the right ones for you. Hobbies directly contribute to how interesting we are, they build our skills, confidence, and increase our exposure, meaning that we can meet more people, stumble across more opportunities, and find ourselves interested in more. Hobbies also help us to connect with others, and open our minds to different perspectives from different walks of life. Blanka teaches how to choose the right hobbies, based on what you enjoyed doing in your childhood (before you were told what’s cool and what isn’t), and the importance of using hobbies to know yourself better - a massive factor in self worth. We discuss how social media use often contributes to younger girls copying influencers and trends, steering further away from who they truly are, and the things they truly enjoy. We also speak about the importance of critical thinking skill, and using it to differentiate between a trend you followed for external validation, and something you actually like, through three thought-provoking questions. Additionally, we learned about the importance of a hobby that produces proof of intelligence. Studies indicate that women who have higher confidence in their intelligence perform significantly better in professional and academic environments compared to women who are insecure in their intelligence - so what’s it going to be? Chess? A new language? An instrument? Maybe something else?This episode is available on:• YouTube• Spotify• Apple PodcastsFollow @elevatorpod_ on Instagram for updates on upcoming episodes, and opportunities to vote for the topics you want your elevator operator, Blanka, to discuss next.
