Soft Skills Club
Practice Finding a Common Ground With Your Colleagues
Through conversation prompts with strangers just like you
Welcome to the Soft Skills Club!
A place for practicing our communication and negotiation skills, and learning how to hear ourselves and listen to other people.
We're pretty much like Fight club, only instead of punches we throw direct questions at each other — and expect honest answers in return.

What Is a Conversation Prompt?
A «conversation prompt» consists of simple questions that are different for each participant. A prompt may also include tasks to make your conversation more exciting and rewarding.
QUESTIONS EXAMPLE
An average session consists of 5-7 questions for each participant.
⭐ TASKS EXAMPLE
If you want to take your conversations to the next level, there are exercises you can do.
Your partner may or may not know what kind of tasks you have.
Why does it work?
The bad news is: the only way to be great at communication is to communicate. The good news is that we offer the perfect training environment for it.
💪 Skills, not knowledge
10 conversations are more effective than 10 self-improvement books
🧘 Safe Environment
It is easier to practice communication techniques in a club, where everyone helps each other, than in the office or on the street
🔁 Regularity
Eventually, motivation runs out. Results come from habits.
✔️ Simplicity
Talking to a stranger is much easier than it might seem. But the experience gained in that conversation will stay with you outside of the club.
