I have designed a number of different courses for building social confidence, depending on what level of social anxiety or awkwardness you experience.
The most effective course for overcoming social anxiety and improving your social skills is the I Don’t Know What to Say Improvisation course for social confidence course.
It is fast and great fun. It draws heavily on Keith Johnstone’s original improvisation method (very different from comedy improv) which I have adapted for quieter people who feel socially awkward.
However, the course is challenging.
And is not the best first step for everyone.
See below if shyness or social anxiety are still on your radar.
It will take a little while to unlearn your ingrained habits of operating from your logical left brain, but with practice and with the support of other people, you will be surprised at what starts coming out of your mouth.
When you learn how to get out of your head and start accessing your natural instincts and intuition, you will discover the deeper intelligence that lives inside you, which is far superior to your logical left brain.
And my participants tell me how much fun it is:
A brilliant way to get more confident socially.

This environment is unlike anything you will find in everyday life, and the freedom you are afforded is completely transferrable. Put, I give much less of a f*** now than I did 12 weeks ago, and this is infinitely more than I could have hoped for when tentatively enrolling. I would do it again without hesitation as it is easily the best decision I’ve made on my self-improvement journey.

It’s six months since I did the “I don’t know what to say” course, and I’m still seeing the benefits, thank you for the whole experience. I surprise myself sometimes as to where my confidence comes from in relating to people.

It will take a little while to unlearn your ingrained habits of operating from your logical left brain, but with practice and with the support of other people, you will be surprised at what starts coming out of your mouth.
If you feel fairly confident in most other areas of your life, want to learn how to think on your feet or feel you need this level of challenge to overcome your inhibitions, I Don’t Know What to Say, could be a great place to start.
If shyness or self-consciousness are still on your radar
You would be better to start off with the Breakthrough Group, or the Express Yourself Workshop before moving onto the I Don’t Know What to Say Improvisation course,
This is particularly if the prospect of doing drama gives you the complete heebie-geeebies.
Starting off with the Breakthrough Confidence Course or the Express Yourself Workshop will enable you to overcome the acute aspects of self-consciousness and the blocks that are causing your social anxiety.
It will also ease you gently into the drama, and build your confidence, so you can be ready to meet the challenges of the I Don’t Know What to Say Improvisation course
It also can be useful to sign up for Introductory Evening. That way we can see you in action and recommend the best course for you.
