If you’ve ever been accused of being an intimidating figure, consider these ideas to help.
There are not many strong enough incentives to change who you are. Add instead.
Admit a lack of knowledge. Be comfortable saying “I don’t know.”
Make fun of your intensity. Learn to laugh at yourself — humanize.
Become intensely generous and supportive.
If you can, learn to slow down just a bit. “Taking a beat” is often enough.
Don’t change who you are — you’re already fine.
Consider adding.
