Patrick King

Patrick King is a Social Interaction Specialist, in other words, a dating, online dating, image, and communication and social skills coach based in San Francisco, California, and has been featured on numerous national publications such as Inc.com, GQ Magazine, TedX, Forbes, NBC News, Huffington Post, Business Insider, Men's Fitness, ATTN, Real Simple Magazine, and Creative Live. He’s also a  #1 Amazon best-selling dating and relationships author with the most popular online dating book on the market, and writes frequently on dating, love, sex, and relationships.

He focuses on using his emotional intelligence and understanding of human interaction to break down emotional barriers, instill confidence, and equip people with the tools they need for success. No pickup artistry and no gimmicks, simply a thorough mastery of human psychology delivered with a dose of real talk, perfected and honed through three years of law school.

He’s not so different from anyone else… he has always just had the ability to see people perhaps a little better than they could themselves, along with an innate instinct to help. He also might have been a late bloomer, with his first anything coming at age 19, giving him a unique before/after perspective that is so valuable to his clients.

When he’s not helping clients conquer the world, he’s either fronting an 80′s cover band or training for his next 10k.

Better Small Talk: Talk to Anyone, Avoid Awkwardness, Generate Deep Conversations, and Make Real Friends

We all know that feeling of dread that shows up with us at a networking event, a party, or a pub when we realize we don’t know anyone there. The idea of initiating small talk or trying to join a circle of strangers in a way that doesn’t feel forced or awkward is enough to send many people turning tail and heading home. In Better Small Talk, a business consultant and social skills coach based in San Francisco offers suggestions on how to engage people in a way that is natural, disarming, and can lead to conversations and relationships that venture below the surface, whether in long-time relationships or in friends to-be.
