SUMMARY:How to Start a Conversation with a Stranger – and NOT Throw Up!
DESCRIPTION:How to Start a Conversation with a Stranger   and NOT Throw Up!\n\n \n\n(This is one of Cynthia D'Amour's Magnetic Relationships Mini-Workshop for people who hate networking.)\n\n\n\nLearn how to start a conversation with someone you don't know without breaking into a sweat!\n\n\n\nYou see someone interesting across the room  and immediately start sweating.\n\n\n\nYour brain's like: "Go say hi!"\n\n\n\nYour body's like: "Absolutely not."\n\n\n\nIf starting conversations feels like jumping out of a plane without a parachute\, this is your soft landing.\n\n\n\nYou'll learn how to break the ice in a way that feels natural - not forced - and practice real-life openers that turn strangers into potential friends.\n\nAnd it only lasts 30 minutes!\n\n\n\nYou'll work with Cynthia D'Amour on a Zoom meeting.\n\nShe'll teach a little\, then you'll go to a breakout room with an assignment to practice. You'll repeat this at least twice during the half hour. Most people come back to the main room smiling and laughing.\n\n\n\n(Imagine the interesting people you can meet with confidence   in only 30 minutes!)\n\n\n\nShow up with your camera on   and ready to laugh!\n\n\n\nTo keep this mini-workshop feeling safe for everyone - and also a ton of fun while practicing new skills - we will NOT be recording the experience. \n\n\n\nAre you ready to stop missing out? Join us for this 30-minute mini-workshop for people who hate networking! \n\n\n\n\n\nCynthia D'Amour\, MBA grew up hating networking. As a teenager\, she was so afraid of saying the wrong thing she often spoke on a delay. It was embarrassing and made her feel dumb.\n\n\n\nThe unexpected twist   she's an extrovert!\n\n\n\nShe wanted to connect - but never knew what to say. (This is NOT an introvert-only challenge!)\n\n\n\nHer networking challenges kicked off a passion for figuring how to crack the code   and she did. She's spent the last 20 years coaching\, speaking to and helping people like you build real confidence and connection   without the pressure to be someone you're not.\n\n\n\nCynthia's Magnetic Relationships Mini-Workshops are created for people who hate networking. They are live\, 30-minute\, mini workshops focused on a single networking skill filled with how-tos\, practice   and a lot of fun!
