It's all about the alpha male

[Spiral]

All throughout stage 4 I've been more calm and laid back. I don't make the effort to introduce myself unless the other person steps forward. I am in my head sometimes but I don't really care at the same time. I feel better though once the other person makes the introduction. This happens alot when I go on trips because I meet managers, staff, guides, and other hunters. I just lay back and since they are the adults I let them make the first move usually. And as far as talking with them and getting to know them.. I usually let them talk with friends and I include myself in the conversation by stepping into the circle. It wasnt like this in the earlier stages. I was more upbeat and had a good balance of charisma. but since being in stage 4 Ive just been "that one guy" and everyone makes room for me. I take things at my own leisure and think carefully bout anything I say because I have to be professional. but if they ask questions and are interested I make it worth their while. Don't be afraid to speak up or take things slow. Own your space and be your own person. Just go with the flow and ask questions. that makes things go better for everyone.
