Most social skills training doesn't work.

You have been sold steps, scripts and tactics. Whilst this may seem useful on the surface, you become less connected to people, because you become less connected to yourself. Human connection is an art, not a set of techniques.

Learn the creative social intelligence you were never taught.

About

From Heartbreak to Heartistry: a philosophy of creative expression.

A heartbreak got me into this work. At the time I was an art director in advertising agencies, hired for one thing: raw, expressive ideas. When I went looking for help, I found an industry teaching men to perform, run routines, and extract results from people. It felt wrong because it was wrong. So I built the opposite.

Social Heartistry is what happened when I turned that instinct on the social world. You give instead of take. You express instead of extract. When you stop chasing and start expressing, you attract what you once pursued. That is the art, and I'm going to teach you.

Social Heartistry: The Core Idea

The Bum. The Beggar. The Busker.

Three ways to play the social game. Most people live in the first two. Social Artists train the third.

The Bum

Total passivity. He waits for the world to come to him. No action, no initiative, no risk. The guy in the corner of the party, hoping someone talks to him first.

Do nothing, get nothing

The Beggar

He takes action, but every move is a transaction. The pickup artist running routines. The cold caller gripping his script. He needs something from you, and you can feel it. The tighter the grip, the more people slip away.

Neediness repels

The Busker

The street musician playing for the joy of it. Already abundant, sharing it with you. He is not chasing coins. The coins drop anyway. He expresses instead of extracts. This is the Social Artist.

Express, and you attract

Same three characters at the party, on the street, on the sales call. The whole game is learning to play the ten. Social Heartistry is how.

For Your Sales Floor

Sales Heartistry

Most sales training teaches you to extract. This teaches you to co-create a win-win. Giving over extraction. The most powerful commercial force most salespeople never discover.
