Why we can have some conversations so easily and can share anything, while in some conversations, we immediately feel uncomfortable and want them to end? In this class, we'll explore the answer to this question through science and discover how we can turn these difficult conversations into comfortable chats. We'll talk about different perceptions of people and how we can influence these perceptions to develop ease and comfort in our conversations. We'll also consider different strategies that we can use to positively influence the behavior of our audience to develop their trust and interest in the discussions. By the end of this class, we'll learn that we can develop and maintain control of these difficult conversations, and change them into meaningful, positive, and inclusive discussions. My teaching style is very friendly and inclusive. The students will be kept unmuted (unless there is background noise) throughout the class and we'll have interactive discussions to develop our understanding of the topics. No prior experience is or knowledge is required for this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I live in Toronto, Canada with my beautiful wife. I love to travel, explore different cultures, meet amazing people, and try delicious food. I am a major foodie. I love photography as well because I believe that pictures allow us to capture our special moments and the natural beauty around us. So I always take my camera with me on my morning walks.
I am a life skills coach. I have been teaching kids about leadership skills and how they can improve their capabilities to communicate in different situations, for over three years. I also never miss any chance to tutor kids on how to effectively use various software to make their tasks easier, more efficient, and more organized.
I have been involved in various leadership roles, working with multinationals like L'Oreal, Reckitt Benckiser, SC Johnson, Pepsi, and many others, all that at a very young age. This experience and my age level allows me to connect rather well with kids.
Just recently, I have started to incorporate my passion for coaching into my love for connecting to people. Check out my website below and enable notifications to get updated on new classes, blogs, videos, case studies, and much more.
