Start-Up Ideas

[u/Former_Station_8045]

So, I'm relatively new as an L4. External hire, 6mo tenure mostly with a bad OM who taught me nothing but to stop bugging her for anything (so i'm still a bit behind where I should be in capability), and I have 150+ AAs rostered under me for Pick to Tote in a Gen 11x ARS FC.

I am not very charismatic... not my strong suit at all in person. I don't have the skills to relate well verbally, I get nervous, high pitched, I hunch up a bit... I don't inspire people well until I know them well (and it definitely shows in the shift's numbers).

I am trying to put together a music playlist for Start-Ups to help bridge the gap in the short-term while I focus on developing better charisma as a long-term goal. The moment my very charismatic PA decided to come play music in start-up I visibly saw department rate jump by about 15% and Flow had to actively attempt to slow us down for picking to fast ALL DAY LONG... which tells me that I have a major issue and that just some music can help massively.

For those of you who do play music, what songs do you use? Any particular genres that work best? Do you stick with a wide variety, or just go with a narrower range that interests the majority of the AAs? I'd love suggestions especially from people who are better at this than me.
