Social Skills

Social skills aren’t schmoozing—they’re connection. Around 50, I’ve learned to work a room without being “that guy.” This section’s for guys 30 to 65 who want to network, charm, or just not bore people at parties. Expect tips on conversation starters that don’t flop, etiquette that feels natural, and building relationships that open doors. It’s not about faking charm—it’s about being genuinely engaging. From Detroit boardrooms to Connecticut dinners, I’ve honed what works: active listening, body language, and knowing when to shut up. Whether you’re pitching a client or meeting your kid’s teacher, these skills make you memorable. Let’s sharpen your social game, because in a world of texts and emails, real connection is your superpower.
