Speaking and Presenting: Conversation Starters
This course will teach you how to build persuasive surprises into your presentations, the kind of surprises that will change how your audience sees a particular situation or proposal and then gets them talking—in a good way. It will also identify several techniques you can use to start (and maintain) your own conversations, whether with a big group, a small group, or even just one-on-one.

Reviewed Aug 16, 2025This course was engaging and highly practical. I appreciated how it combined research-based insights with hands-on exercises, like talking to strangers and practicing follow-up questions. The lessons on mirroring, using the language of common life, and active listening were especially valuable, and I feel more confident applying these skills in both professional and personal conversations. I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their communication and connection with others.
