Course Overview
-
Choosing the right friends can be so confusing and decoding the unwritten laws of conversation can sometimes feel impossible. In this session we’ll take a close look at what makes a good friend and how to connect with them using some basic (but fundamental) conversation skills. Then…we practice together.
-
Now the basics are down, it is time to get a little more technical. We’re going to learn how to keep a conversation alive and flowing. We’ll look at the best types of questions, traps that lead to conversation check-mate, and how to tell when you are just nailing conversation.
-
Wait! There is a whole separate rule book for online communication? In this session we’re going to take a close look at how to appropriately communicate online (text or voice chat). You’ll learn how to spot the major danger zones and avoid them.
-
Humour (if you use it) is like a secret weapon in building conversations or social connections. But like any weapon, you have to read and understand the safety manual. In this session we’ll take a look at the do’s and don’ts of humour so you can feel confident that you’re using humour safely.
-
You’ve had some time to practice in the real world, now it’s time to dive a little deeper into the humour pit. In this session we’re going to learn how to tune-in to how other people see our humour and why this matters so much. We’re also going to try a little bit of humour ourselves and analyse other people’s perspectives.
-
Disagreements happen sometimes and that’s ok…But sometimes it isn’t. It can be hard to notice we’re having one, stressful when we’re suddenly in one, and super confusing to know how to respond appropriately. We’ll give you the absolute best paths to take when you find yourself lost in conflict land.
-
Maybe you have experienced it or maybe someone you know has. Whatever the case, it really is a lonely experience and it can feel like no one can help. Science has some ways to deal and chances are you’ve never heard them. This session is a master-class in the scientific method of bully-busting.
