Program 8: How to become a People Magnet and get along with anyone
Upon completion of SHINE Program 8, we expect that our students:
- can confidently strike up a conversation with a person they have never met. Since aptitude in such a skill is becoming rare, skilled conversationalists will stand out from the crowd in scholarship/job interviews, networking, etc.
- can conclude a conversation leaving the other person wanting to speak with them further
- can comfortably attend any social event alone and feel familiar with the appropriate behaviour for any given occasion
- can smile and stand comfortably around others without sending inappropriate messages
- can cater their vocabulary to the occasion
- understand the power of the appropriate handshake
- can action the cognitive skills to remember people’s names
- understand the difference between an average and an excellent listener
- understand the concept of paying kindness forward and making it a daily habit
- understand the magic of an appropriate greeting and the lasting impression of a thoughtful and genuine goodbye
- understand the natural skills of how to make friends and keep them
- have mastered the skill of "confident kindness"
- understand the value of open vs. closed-ended questions
- appreciate the value of empathic movement and thoughtful conversational style and tone
