If you’ve ever wanted to have smoother interactions and get people on your side more easily, then this is the course for you!

Learn the science behind the social psychology of attraction to make your social interactions smoother and more rewarding.

Highlights

• Increase rapport and social connection through gestures
• Simple compliments and touches to increase likeability
• Understand research in social psychology and how to use it
• Use strategies to make interactions go further and more smoothly
• Applicable skills for each Principle!

Course Overview

This course will give you the tools to swiftly connect with the people you meet. It’s more than simply friends and romance, though, as when people like you, they are more likely to trust you, help you out and say yes when you need a favour.

We’ll cover the seven unique principles of attraction and the social psychology behind them. At the end of each section, you’ll leave with a concrete strategy that you can implement immediately the next time you’re looking to make a social connection with someone.

Take this course and understand the science of attraction and what it can do for your life.
