Categories:The transition from pandemic living to whatever we’re in now has made all of us recognize that our people skills are a little rusty. Water cooler conversations? Small talk? Cocktail party chatter? How do you even do that any more? Ana Marie Cox is here to help. In her twenty-plus years as a journalist, Ana has interviewed Hollywood stars and presidential candidates; she’s talked to former white nationalists and disability rights activists. Along the way, she’s learned the tricks and habits that make it easy to talk to anyone. What makes a discussion interesting, it turns out, isn’t what the interviewee has to say — it’s all about what the interviewer asks. Whether it’s overcoming your own shyness or coaxing a story out of someone determined to bore you to death, this talk will give you concrete tips for unlocking the interesting person in all of us.
Everyone’s recovering from something: Maybe it’s your relationship with substances or your relationship with food. Maybe it’s a relationship gone wrong or a traumatic experience. Maybe it’s just a terrible day. This course will help you reframe whatever it is you’ve been through into a journey towards wholeness and healing.
We will do this by borrowing the narrative structure used for decades by those in 12-step programs: 1) What it was like 2) What happened 3) What you’re like today. Original writing exercises will help you fill out the responses to these questions from different perspectives, going beyond the story you might already be telling yourself. Guided feedback among class participants will help you dig out the most meaningful details and provide a safe, supportive environment for deeper exploration.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a free-standing three-part personal essay that can also serve as the bones of a longer piece. You’ll also have a new way of looking at your past and a new way of looking at your future.
