Overcome social awkwardness and social anxiety the fast, fun and easier way. DO YOU find yourself drying up or going blank when under pressure, or get tongue-tied when someone makes a smart remark? One of the reasons that you dry up or get tongue-tied – is because you are programmed to go into your head and try to think of something to say. Most of us have become left-brain dominant because of the way we’ve been educated and we don’t know how to activate our powerful and more creative right-brain. This is why the "I Don't Know what to Say" Improvisation Course is so effective at overcoming social difficulties. It gives you access to your spontaneous right-brain, and in fact, enables you to operate from both right and left-brain together. It is probably one of the fastest and most effective ways of building verbal confidence as well as liberating you on all sorts of levels.
