To be successful in life, business and relationships, a person needs just one thing. To be successful and to have a meaningful, engaged, memorable collegiate experience, college students need just one thing. That one thing is the ability to deeply connect, build relationships, and engage with other human beings - the ability to be socially excellent.

As technological connections increase, personal, human, face-to-face connections can suffer. But those human connections are vital to our organizational success and to our personal fulfillment. Social Excellence is the key to standing out from the crowd, the key to lifting your eyes from the screen and seeing the faces of potential relationships around you, and the key to the age-old adage that "it's not what you know, but who you know."

Phired Up teaches Social Excellence through a progression of lessons. Starting with a redefinition of the word social, Phired Up challenges conventional thinking and brings us back to our human nature as social beings.

From there participants learn how Social Excellence as a lifestyle can transform them and their organizations, they learn a magic trick which opens doors to new relationships, they learn about first impressions, exchanging contact information, social etiquette, listening, remembering names, and all the basic skills of a social master. They learn about The Four Pillars of Social Excellence and the transformation and power of personal stories.

The advanced learning kicks in with the introduction of the concept of powerful conversations, and what it takes to consistently have these life-changing, transformative, intense engagements. All of this is taught through highly interactive activities that have the participants not just talking about the concepts, but doing them and actually networking with the people in the room.
