😊 POV: You walk into a cute little bookstore... between the philosophy and literature sections there's a Certified Authenticity Coach hosting a ✨Charisma Workshop✨ on designing your social presence. (Wait—cool! What is that?)
Ever wonder what it’s like to have friends who care about self-growth? To feel confident at parties and fully yourself? To be part of an in-person community built on authenticity and meaningful conversation?
➡️ Topics for each week listed below! (I cannot edit individual events in a recurring series because of a Facebook limitation).

📍 The Venue: Phoenix Books is a charming used bookstore in NDG that's so much more.

✨✨ What to Expect✨✨:
1. Charisma Workshop (1 hr)
The most inspiring people I’ve met are the ones who care about how they show up—for themselves and for others. That’s why this social begins with a Charisma Workshop: to attract the kind of humans who value their social well-being and respect the energy and time of those around them.
Led by ICF-Certified Authenticity Coach Amy Zhou (hi, that’s me!), these workshops are about building people skills that feel true to you—like presence, reading the room, navigating social awkwardness, and expressing your real self with ease.
You’ll walk away with:
- A values-based design of your ideal social presence + a playbook to embody it
- Anonymous “social mirror” insights (aka how others perceive you, for your eyes only)
- A safe, supportive simulation to try out your new social energy
- A confidence boost rooted in who you really are
2. Bookstore Socials (1 hr)
The second half is slow and simple: connect with someone from the workshop, browse a book, or just sit in shared presence. No expectations—just human conversation and gentle community.
You might leave with:
- A smile
- A new friend (or two)
- A book that starts a conversation
