Let’s be honest, professional networking often kinda…well, sucks. What’s appealing about walking into a room full of strangers and repeatedly answering the same three questions about yourself for the next hour? If you get anxious just thinking about the crowded spaces, superficial banter, and business card swapping, join me (a confessed awkward person) for an interactive experience that will humanize the practice of meeting people for the first time. Together, we’ll try some atypical approaches to starting meaningful conversations and making authentic connections. Come prepared to meet new people and have fun doing it—even if you too are an awkward person!
