Networking

Summary: Have you ever been to an event, meeting, interview or activity where you were expected to engage but didn’t know how or where to start? Connecting with total strangers (especially about careers) and initiating a conversation can be nerve-wracking and feel awkward. In this workshop we will explore the why behind connecting with others and identify challenges you might face (e.g. anxiety, nerves, etc.), and provide you with tips and resources for navigating talking to strangers in a new way.
