Curiosity killed the fear – networking workshop
Join us for a networking workshop that will help conquer your fears and spark your curiosity!

During this micro-skill session, focused on doing, not telling – we’ll take the pressure off you and what you ‘need’ to or should’ say, negate the fear of small talk and build trustworthiness by getting curious. Gain new skills and become confident with networking, learning tips and trips and learn how to approach new connections with ease.
What we’ll do
20% micro-skill learning: We’ll zoom in on the most underestimated ingredient of trustworthiness and what it means for how we connect with others
