Description

Regardless of age or occupation, conversation can be tricky. But like it or not, it's one of the most important things you do on a daily basis. Successful conversations help you advance professionally and make, maintain, and deepen relationships. Moreover, research shows that talking, when done on a substantive level, is correlated with a feeling of happiness and general well-being.

In just six lectures, Professor Curzan teaches you key strategies that can dramatically improve your ability to converse with anyone, from strangers to supervisors. This highly practical course focuses on the fundamental principles you need to become more conversationally aware and savvy at home, in the workplace, and beyond. You'll learn graceful ways of pointing out a mistake, asking someone to do something he or she doesn't want to do, preparing a person for "no," asking for a big favor, and providing information the recipient doesn't want to hear. You'll also learn devices for skillfully opening and closing exchanges, taking turns "negotiating the conversational floor," sending people subtle signals, and sharing the conversational burden to make discussions feel more mutual and enjoyable.

Whether you want to build rapport with colleagues, promote yourself in an interview, give a winning presentation, ingratiate yourself with your boss, or even create a connection on a first date, knowing what to say and how to say it allows for more productive, smoother interactions.Professor Curzan helps you get ahead by outlining simple techniques for accomplishing all of these goals and more.

pretty basic

mostly common sense. my sister struggles with speaking to others, so I thought this would help her. But it was very academic and seemed more like language analysis than practical exercises.

Nothing new here

Well read but no groundbreaking revelations on linguistics. You already know all this, but it’s fairly short and can bring forgotten speach patterns to the forefront of your thoughts.

It has some tips.. that's all

It has some useful tips. It's as if I read an article and took some notes.
The course has a weak outline in my opinion. It does not have a cohesive plan or content. Just some ideas...
I give it an average rating or less.
