English Conversation Class

ENGLISH CONVERSATION CLASS | LADY'S ONE-DAY CONFIDENT CONVERSATION COURSE IN LONDON

The Lady's Confident Conversation Course is a specialised English conversation class tailored to enhance English conversation proficiency. This empowering course will equip women with the necessary skills to navigate social interactions with greater assurance by providing instruction on the etiquette and nuances of formal and informal communication in British social settings.

Social events can be challenging, especially for those who lean more towards introversion. However, you don't have to change who you are to navigate these situations. Your coach, Emma Dupont, is also an introvert and she will share her personal story with you, helping you to overcome any social barriers you may face. It's important to remember that introverts excel at socialising by engaging in meaningful conversations and forming deeper connections, which can be incredibly valuable in any social setting.

In our English conversation class, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the sequential approach to engaging in British small talk. This will help you avoid instances of social unease, specifically the cognitive impasse or the inclination to engage in incoherent conversation to alleviate anxiety.

Our English conversation course is designed to help participants identify and address communication barriers. It will also provide practical step-by-step skills for managing and overcoming these obstacles effectively, ensuring you feel prepared and capable in any social situation.

In addition, participants will gain insight into the nine Enneagram personality types. This knowledge will enable individuals to navigate conversations and interactions better, regardless of the complexities involved. This comprehensive understanding will help individuals feel knowledgeable and competent, remaining composed and in control during challenging exchanges.

The programme outlines essential strategies for navigating various interpersonal interactions. These include effectively establishing and maintaining personal boundaries, such as saying 'no' to extra work when already overloaded, while upholding an elegant and graceful demeanour, like maintaining a calm and polite tone even in stressful situations, and recognising and managing one's own behavioural patterns.

Furthermore, it delves into the art of delivering objective opinions on contentious topics, such as Brexit and climate change and advocating for the legal recognition of non-binary gender identities with diplomacy and respect for diverse viewpoints.

Additionally, you will learn how to prepare for significant events, steering and managing discussions, and confidently engaging in one-on-one and group settings.

During all our women's etiquette classes, ladies will acquire the knowledge and tools to build their power-bubble™, navigate social and business situations within the etiquette framework™, and make decisions that resonate with their fundamental values, resulting in an understated yet powerful self-assurance.
