Struggle Socially?
Build your confidence and social skills.
If you’ve ever felt awkward in conversations or unsure how to deepen friendships, you’re not alone. Social skills aren’t just for networking—they’re the secret to strong, satisfying friendships. This self-paced course gives you practical tools to improve your confidence and connection in every relationship.
Why Are Adult Relationships So Hard?
You’re not alone. They are hard.
Here’s what the research says:
• 1 in 5 adults have no close friends
• 1 in 4 people regularly feel lonely
• 1 in 2 find making new friends hard
• 40% want to get closer to their friends but don’t know how
One reason why? Great friendships begin with great social skills—but most of us never learned how.
What if you could change that?
Learn the Social Skills They Never Taught You.

Got Questions?
How long does the course take?
Each session takes about an hour, including workbook exercises. Lessons are short (7-15 minutes) and easy to fit into your week.
Can I do the course in a weekend?
While you can, we recommend spacing it out. Friendship grows over time, and applying what you learn weekly will bring the best results.
How long do I have access?
Enjoy the course videos for a full 12 months and keep the workbook forever.
Can I take the course with a friend?
Yes—and right now they can join you for FREE! Doing the course with someone else is the best way to learn, too.
Is this course right for introverts and extroverts?
Yes! Introverts love learning solo, and extroverts enjoy the course’s practical, action-oriented approach.
Why is it called Friendship ‘Lab’?
Because a lab is where experiments take place, which help us grow! Treat each friendship like an experiment: try, learn, adapt, and thrive.
