The 3 days will introduce you to social skills and what can be done about social skills difficulties. It is a practical and interactive course and you will not only come away with the theory on how to work with people in the most effective way, but you will also have the confidence to do it. Alex uses a mixture of lecturing, videos and practical exercises to keep you engaged, interested and amused. Numbers are usually limited to a maximum of 24 due to the interactive nature of this workshop.
