Hello and welcome! We are here to guide you on a journey to learn about socializing or social communication, that’s a fancy word for talking to people and how to feel successful in your social conversations with friends. We invite you to join us on a journey to discover how communication works. First, we will learn about ourselves and how we are built to function. We are going to start by learning about what communication is all about, we are going to discover your preferred communication modality and what makes you feel comfortable and successful when talking to people. This is not a program to teach you change and to change who you are. Not at all…, it would be very wrong for anyone to try to do that. The goal is to learn more about yourself and how unique and beautiful your personality is, and to learn about the expectations that people have when talking, and what you can do to understand and adapt to the world around you.
Facial expressions offer clues that help us know when someone needs our support. Showing a supportive facial expression can help someone feel supported when they need it. It is important we are able to read each other’s faces so we can offer support as well as offer support in our facial expressions.
