Course Description
When you’re meeting people for the first time, there may be lots of feelings swirling around in your interactions. Perhaps you find something you have in common with them. Maybe you can help each other out, or there’s something about them that you respect and admire. Or perhaps there’s just a spark of connection that you can’t explain. Whatever the reason may be, it’s important to follow up respectfully and be considerate when forming connections. Sometimes you may not be able to talk for as long as you want to, but that doesn’t mean your connection with them has to end. And if you‘ve begun talking with someone, that doesn’t mean you’re obligated to keep that connection if you’re uninterested or uncomfortable. How do you establish connections with those you want to get to know, and how do you step away from conversations you no longer wish to continue?
In this course on Maintaining Relationships Beyond First Interactions, you will learn how to extend relationships beyond the first time you meet someone. You’ll also learn how to wrap up a conversation respectfully, make it known if you’d like to keep in touch, and think about the best ways to stay connected with the person over time. By the end of this course, you’ll better understand the components of high-quality, lasting relationships.
