Course Contents

Every module consists of

  • Concepts and Mindset
  • Examples and conversation breakdowns
  • Strategies and techniques
01

Intent and Content

Have you wondered how transactional conversations are? There is a reason you find yourself in any conversation. There is a certain intention that you have. One of the biggest mistakes most people make while signaling their intent is that they jump the gun. Conversations are a dance of words and emotions. You must take things slow, you must seem content with yourself and what you have. This is a mindset.

02

Walking into a conversation

Isn't it scary to walk into a conversation? The rapid heartbeats, the sweaty palms, and the embarrassing outcomes that constantly play in your head cloud your thinking. This module is all about overcoming just that hesitation. It’s about how you should enter conversations and leave a long-lasting impression behind.

03

Fishing

Once you’re finally in a conversation your next challenge is about how to keep it going. That’s when you start fishing. Be it a podcast, interview or a date, fishing is something that signals your genuine interest in people. This module covers things you can talk about, starting with something basic and proximate to something deeper and more intimate.

04

Like vs Respect vs Trust

I like you if you agree with the things I say. I may start to respect you if you have valid disagreements with respect to what I have to say. However, I will only truly trust you, if there is congruence between what you say and your reality. It is here that you start to develop genuine relationships with people.

05

Meaningful Questions

When you ask meaningful questions, you go on a journey with the other person. You are both exploring each other's thoughts and understanding each other better, on a human level.

06

Risk

Risk is something that breaks through the screen of mediocre conversation and instantly elevates you in the eyes of the other person (if done right). However, how much risk is too much risk? This is exactly where calibration comes into play. In this module, you will learn how to take risks in conversations, realize where you’re at, and calibrate accordingly.

07

Comfort

While risk is suited for more friendly and playful conversations, it’s not always the best in interactions at work or college. Comfort is what needs to be established there. Again, calibration is the compass that guides you in this module.

08

Asking for what you want

Making the ask is scary. You may just mess things up. In relationships and negotiations, it’s all about timing the ask. When is it the “right” time? And how does one get there? It all comes down to having clarity in your mind. What is it that you want? What is it that you are willing to give? Where do our wants intersect?

09

Walking out of a conversation

Now that you’ve engaged someone in a meaningful conversation, built the rapport, and asked for what you wanted, how will you close the conversation? You can’t leave it hanging neither can you put a period to the conversation permanently. This module will give you some simple strategies about how you should walk out of a conversation while leaving an impression behind.

10

Preparing for conversation

Honestly, most conversations do not require too much prep. Here we talk about the few that do - like an interview, negotiation or a date. It’s about dressing to fit the part just as much as it is about knowing the environment and setting the tone. In this module, we talk about the homework you must do in some cases.

11

Signals

Signals are extremely vital to assert conversational control. Pauses, eye contact, and statements of empathy are your strongest tools to signal what you want. These help you gain an edge.

12

Expressions and Tonality

So much of what you say depends on how you say it. Your facial gestures much like your voice communicate more than just your words. In this module, you will learn the mistakes that you may be committing unconsciously in this regard.

13

Body Language

How well you understand others’ body language will tell you how your body language should be. Here you will learn the art of Pattern matching and some subtle touches and what they indicate on a psychological level.

14

Storytelling

People carry home emotions and experiences, not the logic of conversation. Stories are a great way to make conversations more experience-worthy. This module aims at providing you all the tools to tell great stories.

15

Social Confidence

The biggest hesitation for most people is not their ability to talk, it’s the mental barrier where they feel insecure about their physical appearance. Height, weight, and other physical features often restrain your ability to express yourself to the fullest. This module helps you breakthrough that fear of rejection.

17

How to be Mr/Miss Alpha in a group

This will teach you how to be the decision maker in a group. How to be a highly self-confident and opinionated one. Someone who acts decisively, moves people to action, and is usually seen as a group leader.

18

How to be Mr/Miss Exciting to the other person

If you want to keep the conversation exciting, first you must seem excited. This module will help you know how you can be the one radiating high energy and passing it on to the other person too

19

How to be Mr/Miss Persuasive in professional environment

Whether you want to make more sales or convince your boss to accept your ideas or ask for a raise, you have to be persuasive enough to influence the other person’s decisions. This module will teach you how to be persuasive through your conversations.


20

How to be Mr/Miss Charming in a one-to-one situation

This is the secret to almost all conversations. If you’re charming enough, you have an added advantage over everybody else in getting opportunities or making a good impression on the other person. You’ll learn what makes someone charming in a one-to-one situation as well as in groups.


21

How to be Mr/Miss Right for the situation

This comfort-heavy exercise will help you in many ways but mainly in earning trust of the other person. Being perceived as the someone ‘right’ in the other person’s eye will open the doors of having meaningful transactions or exchanging personal thoughts across.
