About the Course

At times we can plan how we want a conversation to go and select some helpful phrases and questions ahead. Other times, the conversation is spontaneous, arising in the heat of the moment or a particular event. In both cases, we recommend that you take a moment to consider the potential outcomes of the conversation and whether it’s got enough value for you.
