If you are in SF/Bay Area, I would highly recommend taking a course from Jaunty (http://www.jaunty.org).

I took their Co-Ed Comprehensive course (twice!). They are not cheap, (around $1600 for eight week course when I took it), but for me, there is a clear demarkation in my life pre-, and post-Jaunty.

I read a lot of books (Art of Conversation, Seduction, How to Win Friends and Influence People, etc), but none of them came close to this course.

They target social intelligence with basic conversation skills, humor, body language, etc.

I would also highly recommend taking improv comedy classes. In SF/Bay Area, I recommend Made Up Theater (https://madeuptheatre.com/). I took their classes for over 3-4 months. That really helped me build on conversations (Yes, and...) and not let them die.
