"

Second most useful is the Dale Carnegie course, different topic.

Well, that's the book, but there's also a series of classes where you just learn to be comfortable speaking in public and speaking to strangers.

The Dale Carnegie course, they only allow the other students and the instructor to say what you did right. That's the only rule.

I think it's national. It's the Dale Carnegie. I think there are several varieties of the classes. And all you have to do is Google it and sign up for one near you.

But Dale Carnegie teaches you a conversation stack, a set of questions to ask anybody you just met that they will be comfortable with and so will you.
