How To Talk To Anyone: The Art Of Everyday Conversation Course Overview

This course is created, owned, and trained by its original creator,  Mr. David Goldwich. Learn from the original creator.

Do you consider yourself to be shy or introverted? Do you find yourself tongue-tied or at a loss for words when having a conversation? Do you ever feel uncomfortable interacting with others in everyday situations? Do you feel you lack confidence or the social skills to have rewarding conversations? Many people in this position are operating from an old script that tells them they are just not good at conversation. In this workshop, we will rewrite that script from the past and make it relevant for the present and future. 

The simple act of conversation has a major impact on the quality of your life, relationships, and the success you enjoy. The words you use shape the way you feel about yourself and the way others perceive you.

To be truly successful in work and in life you must master the art of conversation.  You must learn how to build rapport and trust, listen empathetically, create understanding, read and use body language effectively, make small talk, and develop an entire array of communication skills. 

This intensive, one-day workshop is heavy on role plays and practical skill building. This workshop is suitable for anyone, and is especially useful for those who feel shy, nervous, uncomfortable, or at a loss for words in social interactions.

At the end of the course, learners are able to:

  • understand the fundamental principles of communication
  • use language for its descriptive and creative powers
