Question any good courses to improve various aspects of life?

Hi all,

I'm looking for some online courses that help me in things such as confidence, communication/conversation skills, charisma/magnetism, personality, general social skills, etc.

Preferably free or reasonably priced ie below $100.

Thanks

How about the lessons offered by real life practise with actual people? They're free and full of surprises. They teach you things no self-help guru could ever dream of.

Default Better yet, go to the library~

There's tons of books about those topics. I like the oldie but goodie, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. It's not at all manipulative like it sounds, ha ha.

I've never read or listened to Tony Robbins, but I know he has a huge following. So you might try his stuff.

That's the nice thing about the library, you can try things out for free.

Hello - download the free booklet on the emotional freedom technique to release any blockages, negative emotions that are preventing you from living a full and happy life! I only recommend it because I practice it with my clients and it is so effective. I use it on my husband and daughter for any issues - e.g. pre-interview nerves/confidence, forgiveness for past relationships... when you start to see that your natural inheritance includes all the gifts you long for, you only need to remove the blocks that are preventing you from 'being' them..

Default Learning Annex

If you live in (or near) one of the U.S. cities that are covered by them the Learning Annex has a lot of in-person classes dealing with these topics.

I attended a few of these in San Francisco and know others who have and benefited from them. It's been a while so I'm not sure what their prices are right now.
