“This was my first time at a workshop of this kind and I found it so educational, revelational, interesting and even amusing. It is great to hear how others think and reason and you can add an aspect to your learning that is only available through other people’s perspectives and insight. The warm-up questions were also very good and well thought-through. All in all, I think you are doing a great job.”

What this is
A proven framework for going from awkward to confident
An entertaining workshop with elements of gamification
Interaction through break rooms and audience participation
Actionable takeaways participants can implement immediately
Created by someone who’s walked the walk
What this isn’t
Generic ideas about psychology that were generated by AI
A big pitch for my coaching services
A boring lecture read directly from slides
Academic theories with no real-world application
Telling introverted nerds they should transform into extraverts
Here’s what you’ll get when you book a Social Skills for Nerds 101 workshop
Expect fewer awkward silences in meetings. Your team will be able to articulate what they need to say without stumbling over themselves.
Your employees will feel more connected to and understood by their colleagues. This will give them the confidence to initiate the honest conversations that move projects forward.
When team members have a social support system at work, they’re more resilient. Expect higher satisfaction levels, increased buy-in, and less churn.
“Tonight was really a step out of my comfort zone talking to people I don’t know and opening up about topics I usually keep to myself, and I honestly felt really good. Also, I could see that you’re doing all of this because you truly love it and do it from the heart, and that really comes through. I’ll definitely come to some of your future events, and again, thank you so much, I truly had a great time!”

Who’s leading the workshop?
My name’s Geoff, and I’m a social skills coach for nerds.
I was an awkward, introverted kid growing up. I’ve spent the last 15 years working on my social skills through a combination of therapy, books, YouTube videos and deliberate practice.
I’ve been coaching since early 2024. Over the past couple of years, I’ve given 22 social skills workshops to 650+ participants. It’s a joy and an honour for me to share ideas that have improved my own relationships with other people.
Prior to my career as a coach, I worked for 10 years as a marketer, including for a leading coaching company in Wisconsin.
