I’m working on a new training to help people have better social interactions, aka charisma.

Whether they use it to get ahead at work, enhance their relationship with a partner, relate to their kids, gain new friendships, sell something important, or just be able to be in their own company, that’s something that enhances everything they do.

I think it’s cool because it’s my small way of connecting a world that has been slowly drifting apart and is in need of coming together to solve huge divides and problems that are to come.

I wouldn’t say genius.

The value of the advice has been tested over the last 15 years with many happy students returning over and over again.

We’ve got people in the UN doing good work.

We’ve had people find love.

Entrepreneurs get funding and lead their own companies.

We’ve got a book in the works. It seems better though to teach things live with this kind of experiential skill.

This is very cool! Kudos for giving back. I'm guessing this is an offline thing?

It’s a set of trainings both online and offline.

It’s meant to get people offline and into the real world, but the communication methods are applicable in online discussions as well.
