The Problem
"We ask the same autopilot questions and get the same autopilot answers, and even the people closest to us stay partly unknown. Van Edwards maps a way through, level by level, with questions that open people up. This course turns her map into practice."

Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who wants closer relationships at home, at work or among friends: partners, parents, colleagues, mentors, coaches and students. Read Conversation alongside the course.

Most relationships stay where small talk leaves them. This course is a companion to Vanessa Van Edwards' book Conversation (2026) and its workbook: it follows her Conversation Blueprint through three levels of knowing a person, from the facts to their goals to the story they tell about themselves. Every question she recommends is in the course, to answer yourself first and then ask; every move comes with a tool, and every Learn section cites the original studies.
