You Can Build the Confidence You've Always wanted
- Are you struggling to connect with others or feel like you don’t belong?Â
- Do you often feel misunderstood or left out?
- Do you avoid social situations because of anxiety or fear of rejection?
- Is your career suffering due to a lack of connection with colleagues or difficulty communicating effectively during meetings?
- Do you struggle maintaining relationships both in friendships and romantically?
- Are boundaries difficult to create and maintain?
- Do you struggle to read social cues and body language?
You ABSOLUTELY can walk into that next social gathering feeling confident and ready to mingle!Â
You just need to learn how! Â
And NOT by guess and test, reading tons of books, or making a fool of yourself…
You NEED A MENTOR… someone to walk alongside you and show you how to navigate those unspoken social rules. Â
You need someone who has been right where you are… who has said the wrong stuff, come across as rude, zoned out during conversation, struggled to know when to stop talking…Â
Hi, I'm awkward Cole. And when it comes to social faux pas: You name it… I’ve done it.Â
I can tell you that after 20 years of struggling with my naturally awkward self… the worst part was the loneliness and helplessness that it created.Â
But I didn’t start out there… first I was so confused. I didn’t understand why people weren’t responding well to me or taking me the wrong way.  Â
Then it turned to anger and frustration with the, sometimes not so subtle, rejection that I was experiencing.   Â
Then bitterness that lead right into… loneliness and helplessness.
I had this negative narrative in my mind:
“Some people are just good at connecting with others: I’m not. And I can’t fix that.”Â
The good news…. I was dead wrong!
After reading countless books, hours of mentoring, and lots of trial and error, people would now describe me as “social” or “winsome”. I can confidently say that most days I feel pretty engaged, connected, and able to positively impact those around me.Â
I just wish it didn’t take me so long to get here…Â
So… I have taken my 20 years of experience pursuing conversational fluency through those real life moments, education, mentorship, and general hard knocks to create the tools YOU NEED to build confidence, discover that sense of belonging, and deepen connections with others in a fraction of the time.
And you don’t have to sacrifice your personality or core values to do it. You can be fully you and fully connected!

“I always kinda felt like… people don’t quite get me and I don’t quite get people. Cole’s content has been instrumental in changing that. I can feel my confidence growing. I am looking forward to conversations, not dreading them. At almost 50, I feel like my life is just beginning and I owe a lot of that to this course.”
“I was really excited to start the course to see if I could improve as a conversationalist and stop beating myself up after every interaction. I’m happy to say that I learned a ton of tools that I have been implementing in my everyday life, from small talk to a whole guide on the right kind of questions to ask. I had an epiphany during each lesson, even the ones that I thought didn’t apply to me. So if you are looking to stop dreading every social interaction because you put your foot in your mouth and you want to make real changes, check this course out. You won’t regret it.”
-Lori Ehmke
“I yearned for more meaningful conversation and deeper connections. I ended up taking Cole’s Conversations Course and it was eye opening as to how many small details I was failing to consider, from my facial expressions and body language to how to reframe questions that keep the conversation going. When I struck up a conversation with a stranger at a restaurant recently, I was so pleasantly surprised with how smoothly our conversation flowed. I no longer find myself relying on the weather to open conversations. I’m far more confident in my ability to start and carry conversations as well as to know when and how to end one.”
If I had to rate the enjoyment I get from talking to people on a scale of 1 to 10, i’d say before applying the things in the course it was maybe a 6, but now I would say it’s a 9! Truly, would recommend it to anybody.
