- “Truth in Dating: Make Honesty Safer and More Fun”
- With: Susan Campbell, Ph.D.
- Do you wish you could be more relaxed and natural with people you are getting to know?
- Do you ever wish you could have a deeper, more meaningful connection—even in the early stages of dating?
- Do you sometimes find yourself doing the expected thing rather than risk creating conflict with your date, friend, or partner?
Presence is what makes you radiantly alive and attractive. The key to presence is honesty. And even though most of us value honesty, many people don’t trust that we have the skill or confidence to pull it off—especially in dating!
In this program you will learn and practice several of “the 10 truth skills needed to live an authentic life” that Susan Campbell has discovered in her 35 year career as a relationship coach. Susan will lead the group through a customized version of her Truth in Dating card game—a fun way to practice such truth skills as “revealing your self-talk” and “getting feedback on how you are perceived.” You will learn to when and how to apply these skills so that your experience of meeting new people can be an exciting voyage of self-discovery.
