5 . How to be Sociable - Virtual Class
How to Be Sociable is a 2.5 hour class by The School of Life which takes place regularly in our virtual classroom.
Why should I attend?
We all long to have sincere, intimate, warm-hearted and interesting meetings with friends and strangers but too often, we fail to connect as we would like to. This is a class expressly designed to teach us the skills to have the kind of social life we deserve. It shows us how to escape unfruitful and loneliness inducing small talk and how elegantly to start to have properly enriching connections with others. We are not only shown where we are going wrong, we’re given practical guidance and group rehearsals in winning strategies. Not least, we will laugh together as we learn.
What will I learn?
How to Be Sociable teaches:
What should our friendships be for?
What is charm and how do we acquire it?
How can one be at ease in social situations?
What makes a good conversationalist?
What makes a good listener?
