Course overview
Be more effective by understanding Social Style. Learn how in just one week.
Building strong interpersonal relationships is more in demand as a leadership requirement than ever before. The Social Style framework for understanding communication is a time-tested model used by millions of people to become better at human interaction.
In this live, cohort-based course, I will lead you through understanding the framework, your personal style assessment results, and the tools for practicing and mastering the model.
Social Style research shows that more than two-thirds of us are perceived differently than we think by the people we work with everyday. That gap could be keeping you from meeting your goals. To identify that gap and find the keys to closing it, join this cohort learning experience.
Learning the Social Style model will teach you how to:
🏆 Win trust more quickly by identifying and breaking down communication barriers
💥 Approach challenging conversations with more confidence
❌ Stop wondering where conversations went wrong and learn to recognize the warning signs of misperception in real-time

Sheila O'Sullivan
With degrees from top institutions in my arsenal and a track record of professional success in competitive and challenging environments, I was promoted to C-level in my 30s. But as a leader, I was struggling to get the results I wanted from all of my team members. If I was recognized by others as being smart and accomplished, then why wouldn't people just do what I wanted all the time?
Because it takes way more than credentials to earn trust. More than anything, earning trust requires understanding how you appear to others in your interactions.
Since learning the Social Style model ten years ago, I have seen the most seasoned executives have "aha moments" when they see how this tool empowers them and their teams to break communication barriers and improve outcomes.
I have relied on the Social Style model in my roles as a VP, CSO, and COO in rapidly growing companies to successfully manage change and build cross-functional team relationships. I am thrilled to bring the model to students through Maven.
