Explore your Values, Motivation, and Blind Spots. 

Led by  American professionals, this free conversation course will include  discussions on “ How do I know I can trust someone? What makes someone  trust me? Can I repair trust after it’s broken? How do my daily actions  speak louder than what I say? How important are first impressions? In  this course, we’ll explore the three circles of trust—from the values at  your core, to the daily actions that prove your credibility, to the  subtle cues that shape first impressions. You’ll learn how to earn  trust, repair it when it’s broken, and strengthen it in workplaces,  virtual teams, and even personal relationships. "

The course will have small group discussions  and activities, games, short videos in English with no subtitles,  vocabulary, and require completing online assessments outside of class.  This is an advanced English conversation course.
