Have you ever walked into a room filled with strangers and felt awkward? Have you wondered where to stand, or felt unsure about how to start up a conversation, or questioned how to reply if someone spoke to you? Chances are the answers to those questions are “yes”—because we all have felt that way at one time or another. No matter what subjects you studied in school, you may never have truly learned the skills you need to navigate that crowded room—and so many other social and business situations. You just were not given all the tools you needed to succeed.
Build your social skills toolbox with Master Your People Skills, an immersive, science-based course to help you understand yourself and those around you in brand new ways. In 31 captivating lessons, you will learn dozens of specific people skills to increase success in your family, business, and intimate relationships. When your expert, Vanessa Van Edwards, realized that she needed some help with people skills—when she realized she would not be able to accomplish her social or professional goals without them—she turned to books. The books she read made a few good points but never taught her how to apply that information. And so, nothing really changed in her life. That is why Vanessa will not only teach the skills you need to learn, but also how to apply each skill in your daily life.
Before teaching these vital people skills, Vanessa busts three significant myths about the subject: people skills are not important, you don’t need any help with your people skills, and only extroverts have good people skills. None of that is true. Each skill you will learn in this course is science-based, meaning that it was developed by top researchers at academic or clinical institutions and presented in peer-reviewed journals. You can trust this research as you learn to become likable without having to be a people-pleaser, assertive and direct with your opinions without being aggressive, and influential as opposed to manipulative. No matter where you are on your life’s journey, Master Your People Skills will help you understand your own life and the lives of those around you better, leading to greater success in your relationships and every kind of social situation.
