Course Description
When going into new spaces, it’s important to think about the benefits gained from new interactions. But how can you know who to talk to, and how can you start a conversation with them both effectively and respectfully? In times like these, being able to read body language cues to check for availability and interest when talking with others is a valuable skill to have. It’s also a good idea to take advantage of strategies that can help you set the tone, guide the conversation with prompting questions and answers, and exit the conversation gracefully when it’s time to bring things to a close.
In this course on Improving Conversations and Social Interactions, you’ll learn how to build your self-confidence before introducing yourself to people, and the best ways to approach someone based on energy and environments. You’ll also learn some tips on how to redirect conversations when they feel like they’re not working.
