HappyBunny has 5 levels of service on this (see below), from Free all the way to our fabulous $10,000 contract!
Everyone you meet is a potential ally, friend, or collaborator. From strangers to acquaintances, treat all interactions as meaningful, giving people your full attention. Social mastery transforms both casual encounters & lasting relationships.
Becoming a "Social God/dess" empowers you to forge meaningful connections, open doors to opportunities, and navigate any social setting with ease. Charisma & social fluency enhance personal & professional success, making you memorable, respected, and likable.
Opportunities for socializing arise daily - in line at a café, during networking events, or while waiting for a train. View every interaction as a chance to practice. The essence of social mastery lies in curiosity, confidence, and connection. Focus on understanding others rather than impressing them. Cultivate emotional intelligence, humor, and the ability to gracefully manage group dynamics.
You can master the art of presence by focusing on others. Build rapport with techniques like active listening, sincere compliments, and open-ended questions. Use frameworks like “FORD” (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) to spark engaging conversations. Practice reading social cues and adapting to different personalities, while consistently refining your body language and storytelling.

The pie chart below displays the allocation of budget - as we would recommend it
We naturally adjust the contract to your preferences. This is a completely bespoke product. Some people want more styling, some want more therapy, etc.
The table below highlights the monthly sequencing of coaching sessions (nb: some sessions are several hours, e.g. photography is 4 hours, as is personality coaching, etc).
The schedule is intense in the early months (to achieve lift off & personal transformation) and gets easier at the back-end (when it’s more about practising, fine-tuning & reinforcing good habits).
Once the contract is concluded successfully, clients often choose to continue to work with specific coaches on an individual basis (e.g. acting, PT, intimacy, etc) - and we absolutely encourage this.
