Coach Needed for Small Talk, Networking & Social Conversation Practice

I’m looking for a 1-on-1 coach to help me improve my small talk, conversation skills, and ability to connect naturally with people in both social and professional settings. This is not a public speaking role and I’m not looking for generic life coaching. I want practical, live coaching with a strong focus on role-playing, exercises, and direct feedback. Some of the areas I’d like to work on include: * Starting conversations naturally * Keeping conversations flowing without feeling forced * Asking better questions and follow-up questions * Becoming better at storytelling * Knowing how to transition between topics * Handling awkward silences * Joining and participating in group conversations * Networking and meeting new people * Becoming more spontaneous and comfortable in conversations * Ending conversations naturally * Improving overall social confidence and presence Ideally, our sessions would involve realistic conversation scenarios where we practice repeatedly and you give me specific feedback on what I could do differently. I’d like to work together on an ongoing basis, potentially 1-2 sessions per week. When applying, please tell me: 1. What experience do you have coaching small talk, social skills, or conversational skills? 2. How would you structure a typical 60-minute session? 3. How much of the session would involve actual role-playing and conversation practice? I’m especially interested in coaches with experience in communication coaching, social skills, improv, acting, executive communication, networking, or similar areas.
