The Science of “Cool” in the Hot Desert: Be Fascinating for Life
What makes someone “cool” after 50—and how do you keep that intrigue-spark alive? Dr. Kaufman delivers a lively, interactive course that blends improv games, neuroscience, and embodied cognition to uncover the science of magnetism and presence. Drawing on research into “Cool People” and Gravitas theory (Self-Clarity, Vision, Mission, and Communicative Power), you’ll explore how to project confidence, relevance, and authenticity in any setting. Each week, we’ll practice at local events—playing, reflecting, and experimenting with real-world charisma. No theater experience required—just curiosity, humor, and a willingness to move, connect, and rediscover your cool. All abilities and personalities welcome.
