GET UNSTUCK IN CONVERSATIONS
charisma + ki (氣), the vital force forming part of any living entity. Communication is a necessary part of our day-to-day survival, and it's a skill you can learn. Let's work together to help you unleash an aura that exudes confidence and charisma.
socializing isn't rocket science.
I help you make conversations feel less awkward.
Our work together breaks down the awkward, quiet, and confusing moments you don’t talk about — so the next time you’re in it, you don’t freeze, ramble, or leave wondering what just happened.
For navigating awkward, tense, or uncertain moments in conversation
When awkward moments show up, most people guess, overthink, or push through and hope it works.
We slow the moment down, figure out what actually happened, and decide what to do next.
察言觀色 - noticing what's being said, and what isn't
When the conversation suddenly goes quiet and you don't know how to revive it
Name what just happened and move forward.
“That got quiet for a second.”
“Wait, I lost the thread — what were you saying?”
Silence isn’t the enemy. Pretending it didn’t happen is.
When you don't know how to start a conversation or exit one
Start with a reason - and make it easy to respond to. "Hi. I'm Joe, here to make new friends, mind if we chat?
To leave. Name it without drama. "Hey, this was great. I'm gonna talk to other people.
When you start overthinking how you sound while you’re still talking.
Finish the thought before fixing the tone.
Say the sentence all the way through.
Then adjust on the next one.
Self-editing mid-sentence is what makes you sound off.

1:1 coaching
SINGLE SESSION ($150/hr)
Bring a moment you’re stuck on — maybe your tone landed wrong, you froze, or you walked away thinking, “that’s not what I meant.”
We slow it down, make sense of what happened (internally and socially), and find a way forward
If nothing specific comes to mind yet, that’s okay — the first part of the session is just about looking at what’s been happening lately and naming the moment together.”
ONGOING SUPPORT
For people who want a standing rhythm or continued access as moments come up. Some people prefer to schedule sessions in advance and keep this as an ongoing relationship rather than booking ad hoc.
This can include shorter check-ins around specific moments, alongside regular sessions.
We can decide what makes sense after the first session.

I’m Jackson Wu. I help people handle tricky social moments.
I’m a performer, beatboxer, and communications coach.I’ve spent years on stage and around people - and years feeling like I didn’t quite belong in social spaces. I wasn’t bad at conversations.
I just didn’t know how to stay grounded when it mattered. I had instinct and awareness, but no way to use them in the moment without shrinking or performing.
Charismaki came from learning how to work with those moments instead of fighting them.I work in the gap between social intuition and knowing what to do in the moment.
We slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and decide how to respond — without turning you into someone else.
