What You’ll Learn

Do you fully connect with important people?

Are you comfortable setting boundaries and saying no in a productive manner?

Can you convert bad feelings into positive energy?

Do you find it difficult to handle complexity and set attainable goals?

This experiential workshop is an interactive overview of CORE 4. Core 4 draws from the best of applied psychology, as well as over 30 years of practical application with social entrepreneurs, designers, artists, and other lifelong learners. The class will distill the essence of what is taught over a college semester at New York University. Students will leave with usable skills, understanding, and compelling experiences that will increase their ability to connect, set boundaries, have successful emotional conversions, and use new strategist tools.

Participants will also be invited to join a growing collaborative community of enterprising young professionals that began in NYU’s Program for Social Innovation.

This introductory course will be followed by other course offerings that go into greater depth and advance learner’s mastery of Core 4 success skills.

Beginner Level
