INTRODUCTION TO THE LADY'S CONFIDENT BRITISH CONVERSATION COURSE IN LONDON

The Confident British Conversation Course is designed to help women feel more confident when meeting people through learning the dos and don't of British small talk.

You will learn our step-by-step process for making small talk, ensuring you never again experience social anxiety resulting in a mental freeze or, on the other end of the spectrum, a rambling stream of chit-chat in an attempt to overcome nerves.

The school's Confident British Conversation Course will coach you, firstly, through the process of understanding your blockages, and it will equip you with valuable skills on how to overcome them.

Secondly, you will learn the nine enneagram types of personalities, the knowledge of which will empower you to control and direct any conversation, regardless of how tricky the person may be. No longer will your feathers be ruffled!

From the passive-aggressive to the people-pleasers, and of course, the one-uppers and the arguers, you will learn how to maintain your boundaries while remaining elegant and graceful in your manner. But beware, you may recognise some of these traits in yourself!

Nevertheless, knowing what triggers us is part of the journey to confidence in all our interactions.

You will also learn how to diplomatically deliver an objective opinion on trigger-inducing topics, such as the global pandemic vaccination programme, Brexit, climate change, and the drive for the legalisation of non-binary gender identity while respecting others' views.

Finally, you will learn how to prepare for an important event, control and lead a conversation, and deliver a confident exchange for one-on-one and group scenarios.
