How to Start a Conversation with a Stranger – and NOT Throw Up!
How to Start a Conversation with a Stranger – and NOT Throw Up!
(This is one of Cynthia D’Amour’s Magnetic Relationships Mini-Workshop for people who hate networking.)
Learn how to start a conversation with someone you don’t know without breaking into a sweat!
You see someone interesting across the room… and immediately start sweating.
Your brain’s like: “Go say hi!”
Your body’s like: “Absolutely not.”
If starting conversations feels like jumping out of a plane without a parachute, this is your soft landing.
You’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.
And it only lasts 30 minutes!
You’ll work with Cynthia D’Amour on a Zoom meeting.
She’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.
(Imagine the interesting people you can meet with confidence – in only 30 minutes!)
Show up with your camera on – and ready to laugh!
To 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.
Are you ready to stop missing out? Join us for this 30-minute mini-workshop for people who hate networking!
Cynthia 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.
The unexpected twist – she’s an extrovert!
She wanted to connect - but never knew what to say. (This is NOT an introvert-only challenge!)
Her 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.
Cynthia’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!
