Why take this course?

Perfect for introverts who want to network comfortably but are concerned about getting stuck in a conversation. If you've ever gotten trapped in a conversation or been cornered by a pushy person at a work event the you know it can ruin your evening. Now you can learn an easy way to get out of those situations and make going to meetings or other business functions much more productive and less stressful. Networking is important to any professional or business owner. Be prepared for events by learning these time-tested techniques for bringing the conversation to a close and moving on by creating your own personal exit plan. In this course you will learn skills to make it easy and comfortable so you never have to feel trapped again.

Discover a Simple and Effective Way to End an Uncomfortable Conversation Professionally and Confidently.

  • Master four tried and true exit lines you can use in any situation
  • Create a customized exit plan that feels natural and comfortable for you
  • Find out what to do if you are faced with an aggressive or pushy person
  • Build your confidence and get the respect you deserve at meetings
  • Learn how to stop feeling anxious about attending business functions

The techniques in this course come from over 30 years of experience attending meetings and networking. The tips are things used by professionals every day to stop people from wasting their time. Learning to get out of a conversation can be even more tricky than getting one started. Feeling trapped by someone who just won't take a hint that you don't want to talk anymore can be incredibly uncomfortable. I developed this course to help my students who have felt "cornered" before and didn't know how to get away from the other person without feeling awkward. 

One of my clients, Kim, spent 20 years avoiding networking events because she was traumatized in this way. She was able to overcome her aversion and learned these easy to learn techniques... and now she has no fear of meeting people professionally.

The lessons in this course are broken down so that you will understand not only what to say, but why it can help you. The practice techniques will enable you to be more confident, more quickly. This course will help you take full advantage of professional opportunities to make connections and build relationships to further your career or build your business.

I enjoyed the course and found myself nodding at certain junctures in agreement. Eric Byrd delivers it succinctly and gives very useful liners which I can imagine would work very well in actual situations. He also emphasises the focus on the self and how valuable one's time is -- which is often overlooked.

Yes, it is very much benefitted as I am new to my new role and many Co worker would like to find out more on me but I need more time to pick up my new skills, however, may not like to offend them when the conversation kick in. This is good course that I shall pick up. Thank you.

Everything, including "the secret" could have been explained and done with within 10mins... I spent 40+mins on this.. Good, but too much air...

Course had good information that I will definitely use! However, it could be a little shorter and still cover all the information.

This course was so straight forward, as it gave you exact methods of how to troubleshoot a situation, even if you are an extrovert.

great title and good length ty! good summary of what to do, good simple principles of etiquette and where it ends. only minus, for me, didn't like lecture11 loud music strums in middle of each section, too loud. it that had been the first lecture I likely would have stopped. but all good :)

These were simple concepts and exercises, but to an introvert they can be very powerful tools. I have found myself trapped in undesirable conversations, as I'm sure many of us have. I will adapt Eric's method to escape these conversations in the future!

Very clear and well presented. The information seems like common sense but is organized in a well thought out manner.
