POPULAR CLASS, NOW IN SELF-PACED FORMAT! 

This class is introduction to bettering your social interaction skills for improved/more positive interactions with peers and adults. Learners will discover what it means to be "in the zone", look at examples, and analyze real-life situations.  We'll then delve into looking for social cues, starting conversations with others, and conversational techniques that add communicative agility in social situations. 

By the end of the class, learners will understand what "the zone" is, and how "the zone" helps them find balance in their social interactions, which improves their chances of making connections with others while staying true to themselves.
