How to Be Liked

It is a simple truth of human interaction: you cannot please all the people all the time, and inevitably, there will be individuals who do not like you or what you do or say. However, there are numerous sophisticated, actionable strategies we can employ to maximize the chances of people forming positive feelings toward us. Being genuinely liked is an important, powerful component of our overall wellbeing and happiness—it can make a profound and positive difference in our lives.

While there are no magic formulas or absolute guarantees of universal success, this course will teach you a number of proven strategies for significantly increasing the odds that people will like you and respond positively to your presence and communication. Following a short introduction, the course offers eight video-based lessons. The first lesson discusses the fundamental importance of influencing skills and strategies and introduces the proprietary SELF-PROJECTION framework. This unique, systematic model forms the core of the course. Lessons 2 through 8 then methodically cover the various, vital elements of the SELF-PROJECTION approach, focusing on two key aspects in each lesson. A Module Companion Workbook is an integral part of this course, and you will need to print it out before you begin. This essential resource contains space for your notes and exercises related to the lessons, which helps to extend and consolidate your understanding and provide a personalized record for future development.
