The course was concise and provides specific exercises and action points to practice. I like that it is divided into bit size chunks that I can watch 5-10 daily.

Socializing really is a skill you can improve on. I found these classes very helpful in my own life & I’m much better at making friends & talking to people now!

I did the course Conversation Confidence. It's very practical, backed with theory, and easy to follow. I recommend them if you want to improve your social interactions!

I really enjoyed learning about the mechanics of a conversation. It sounds basic, but it helped my anxiety about conversations because I could start to see the cues and understand their meaning. The videos go over more information and have good practice tips. I would highly recommend these videos.

Overall, this course was super helpful for me. From an instructional design standpoint, the short targeted videos and tangible examples are great. The course could be enhanced with a downloadable reference that you can study later, as well as actual scenario demonstrations on the key points.

I have learned so many skills from the Social Self courses. My social circles have nicely widened, and I have had quite a few comments from people saying how much they enjoy talking to me. I almost think everyone needs these courses. Making eye-contact, smiling, breaking the ice, finding things in common, listening - these are all teachable skills. Too many of us weren't taught them, and instead thought there was something wrong with us. I wish I had learned all this before, but better late than never. These skills can help all of us build our own kind, supportive communities, that are the requirement of a long and happy life. One issue that held me back, was that i thought it was intrusive to ask other people questions. They would ask me about hobbies, interests and favorite movies, but I could not ask them back. Now I realize how important it is to express interest in the other person, and far from being offended, others really enjoy answering and talking about themselves. I have had so many other questions answered, such as the difference between private and personal information and how much to share, what to do when the other person talks too much, and what if they don't ask me any questions? I am very appreciative of Social Self and very impressed.

It was good.

Helpful tips and supportive!
