Social Skills Club Warsaw

This game is about going out of your comfort zone and talking to strangers with some selected topics.

Where is the meeting point?
It's in Politechnika Metro. When you leave a subway car you need to head to side with double escalator (entries closer to Pole Mokotowskie/Zdrofit gym/PWC building) and then we will meet in the place you see in the photo.

Rules
We will be giving compliments to people. As I explained in https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/19hRNgXW1pdmjCZJqbqqWmlI195PG4D2yzewfYm_40cE/edit?usp=sharing
there are few "levels" of compliments. Obviously some of them aren't applicable to people we don't know.

Level 1 (Compliment thing): You have nice hair/eyes/car/dog
Level 2 (Compliment person for having thing): You look great/cool in this XXX
Level 3 (Make generalization based on some observation): How good you look in this boots. It shows you have a style.

Why Is the Cold Approach So Beneficial?
Cold approaches boost your confidence, reduce social anxiety, create new opportunities, develop social skills and improve communication skills. All this in a low stakes environment because you talk with people you will probably never see again or they will forget you when you will meet them next time.

After Exercises

I plan to go the the opening of new bar near Pole Mokotowskie (https://www.facebook.com/events/880889027528726). You can join me.

Typically you have a social life constructed from meeting people you had to meet: family, school, university and work. If you want to meet people outside of them - it starts to get more complicated. You need to have certain social skill habits in order to form relationships with people. If you don't have them - you won't be able to construct relations with people you meet - you will mostly depend on skills of other people.

There is a very interesting framework on how to gain a bigger influence on creating a social life you want.

I will answer during the meeting:

• What are key social habits you need to form to convert people from being a strangers to friends or mates?
• What is the difference between befriending people online (like Meetup or dating apps), in groups with a common goal (like impro/dance/sport classes), in public venues (gym/cafe/restaurants/bars) and public places (streets, public communication, parks)?
• Why for better results you shouldn't behave in a loud and too excessive manner?
• How to get social proof in a venue?
• How to befriend a stranger? Step by step approach.
• Why ten one minute interactions are better than single two hour interaction?

I will explain the following key concepts: exposure effect, low footprint, social proof, commonality, preopening, future projection, time bridge

The meeting will be in a form of a presentation + discussion. There will also be exercises of basic techniques I will mention in the presentation.

The information provided in this event I based on the knowledge I gained from Elevate Your Inner Circle from Elevated Man in Skool course.

This event is for people who never cared about their online presence and don't have great photos. People who find this event interesting in itself are also welcome to join!

These gamified series of events will give you many photos of yourself in a short amount of time.

In the modern world having a good "personal brand" is important - it allows you to stand out from the competition. In the title I mention Instagram but photos can be used in other social media too.

Participants of the events will be split into smaller 2-4 people groups. Each group will have photo quests to do. It's up to each group where to go and what to do as long as they will satisfy the requirements of quests.

To Do Tasks Before Meeting

• Get a hairdresser/etc to have best look possible during the event

• Get best & suitable clothes
