COURSE DESCRIPTION

Is it possible to find an amicable way to live with an “almost stranger” in a small dorm room? What happens if your roommate’s boyfriend visits each weekend and leaves his plastic cups of chew and spit on your desk? What time does the TV go off and when should the phone stop ringing? Do you mind if your roommate uses your computer “just for a semester,” or borrows your new black leather boots or $50 without asking?

Believe me, I've been in those boots and wish I had this class when I was in college! My roommates and I could never agree on anything (other than we all loved late night pizza and Frozen Oreos)! Lucky for you, frozen Oreos are so 80s!! Seriously, there is no need to get all up in arms about this roommate stuff; after all, this new stranger may someday be your maid of honor, business partner, or co-author of your best-selling book!

ACT NOW and register to attend my entertaining, comical and interactive course, “How to Survive Living with Your Roommate,” and quickly learn how to establish rapport, negotiate unpleasant issues with ease, and obtain top-notch investigative skills to determine what your roommate is telling you with their body language and, in turn, what you are saying to them.

When living with someone in a new environment, it's all too easy to misinterpret the clues we’re observing. Accurate knowledge of body language is essential for success in interpersonal relations, especially among college freshmen. I can't guarantee that you and your new roomie will be best friends for life, but I can offer you my “Lyin’ Tamer™ Quick Tips” for getting along and hashing out issues in constructive ways.

In my class, you’ll learn fun, easy and effective ways to communicate with your new roommate (without begging, arguing or whining)! You’ll receive an overview of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the keys to establishing rapport to getting along with others. You'll also investigate five ways to get someone to follow through with their promises and commitments!

Upon completion of this course, the college freshman will be able to:

• Understand the “Rules of Rapport” and create lasting bonds with people from a variety of backgrounds and beliefs;
• Look beyond your obvious differences and quickly find over a 100 little ways that your roommate fascinates you;
• Set boundaries right from the get-go. Not only will it be smooth sailing from there, but your mom will be thrilled you took her advice (smile) !
• Generate positive energy through practicing my “Lyin’ Tamer™ Confidence-Building Techniques” and confront your roommate with ease and self-assurance!
• Create a light-hearted communication system to let each other know when important events (tests, papers, competitions, etc.) are coming up to avoid nasty future confrontations;
• Use eye accessing, language cues, and body language while discussing “hot topics” and to get your way nearly every time!
• Learn the three communication NEVERS to avoid losing popularity and flushing your social life down the toilet;
• Attack the problem and not the person with our Lyin’ Tamer™ Solution, “Create a New Possibility" Exercise;
• ...And much more!
