Reviews

I would never have thought you could teach conversational skills. But Patrick's information is brilliant and does just that. Even just a few of his techniques have changed my ability to have a successful and fun conversation with anyone. A lot of the suggestions are actually easy to put into practice, even if you're shy. I'm so grateful for this course.
Interesting class with some good tips, but the structure made things hard to follow. It felt like Patrick would present a point and then ramble a bit about it instead of having materials prepared. Exercises felt underdeveloped and not well-explained beforehand. At times the participant was having trouble, but Patrick did not offer enough help. It would have been more helpful to have him provide and example and then have the student follow. Overall, good material, just not presented in the best way.
I'm listening in to a rebroadcast of this course. I am fairly confident in certain kinds of social situations with having conversations but I had to be very intentional about learning to do that over the years. Patrick's course has affirmed some things I was doing naturally so I know I'm on the right track, and he also gave lots of great tips about reading people to determine whether they are interested in the conversation, simple conversations starters and enders, and keeping a conversation moving. I gleaned some useful techniques in a short time and will definitely put them into practice. For anyone who wants to hone their ability to converse with others, as well as anyone who really struggles in this area, I think you'll find some very helpful explanations and techniques.
