So far the first 5 lessons I did not learn yet what i was hoping for, never the less I did learn something. So thats good I suppose. Small talk is kinda hard for me because of my Autism, which makes small talk sort of harder. But I wanne stream and be entertaining so I wanted to learn a new skill.

A lot of good insights, but also a lot of obvious, well-known facts. I would have loved to see more vivid, clear examples - the "cases" and examples they were presenting seemed made up on the spot.
By Laura Marie on 10/15/2019
I liked the friendliness of the course and of the presenters, and they really did give examples of seemingly every situation under the sun ? ..except for one, which I just previously posted a question for, and that is: how to approach someone at a party if there is no one standing alone? Often people tend to be in groupings already when I arrive, and I really dont know what to do in that situation. I dont feel like I can just walk up to a group, it seems too nosy or interrupting.
I wasnt able to locate the area where I can keep notes during the course or where the downloads for PDFs were. Im hoping someone will please get back to me on where to find that.
But in summary, it was a great course! Ive always been a little shy or maybe gone the other extreme and over-shared, and this is very helpful to know that there are guidelines and they are easy to follow so as to not have regrets after talking with someone at an event. Thank you for this well thought out and thorough course!

This course was amazing!!! I learned so much about small talk and how to socially network with people! While I took this course over the time period of two days, I cannot wait to apply what I learned to social situations. Thanks Larissa and Johnny for all you do!!!

Some good tips, but if Id paid full price Id feel like its really light on content.

i need to know how to start conversations i already know that i should start them.
By Andrew Owyang on 3/4/2019
Great course! Fun, professional, engaging instructors. Went over core basics of talking to people that everybody should know. Very helpful for people who never had anyone to teach them
By Brighton Tan on 10/14/2018
pleasant instructor but the course content is not in-depth for professional business worker. good course for freshmen
By Raphael Reinauer on 10/12/2018
Very helpful tips that I'm about to try out!
By Niklas Niklas on 10/4/2018
The structure of the course Sems legit, but it is more like a loose bundle of tips rather than a solid Framework. It is difficult to Follow the instructions and ideas because both are talking way to fast.
The Main Point i like to critisize are the shitty slides and charts. This Makes an impression of very bad quality Not Worth the money!!!
By Dame Melissa on 8/6/2018
The first "Lectures" were just teaser intro videos, then after Lecture 3, it said go to Lecture 1, which was really Lecture 4. It's very, very light content without substance so far. This could all be consolidated and I hope that it has more content soon!
