Those wings have stretched, you’re standing on the edge, you’re about to leave the nest.  It’s just minor moments before the great leap of faith.  Just one more step before the plunge… Deep breathes...

You are into your last and final lesson and perhaps one of the most exciting.

Today we will be looking at how you work a room, perhaps one of human beings most anxiety ridden moments.

The last lesson looked at your behaviour on social media, now sticking with the ‘social’ topic, we are going to look at how to socialise around a business event.  

You will learn the soon-to-be very easy art of networking.  Why do we actually need to know how to network though?  People are often confused by the point of networking.  ‘Do we just stand around trying to make awkward conversations with people?’ 

No! It’s quite simply this, business success comes down to the law of numbers.  The more people you speak to, the greater the chance of actually finding a great opportunity.  The more people you talk to, the more people they can put you in contact with and the more business you can attract.

Once you have finished this chapter you are going to feel excited to attend your next event and try out all these super cool skills.  Not only that but you’re going to realize how easy it really is to shine at any event.

Why is this lesson important for you?

  • You will feel confident walking into a room of strangers and introducing yourself
  • People will happily accept you into their group
  • You will learn how to avoid awkward silences
  • You will actually enjoy networking for the first time
  • Make meaningful connections that actually lead to something successful
  • You won’t just stand awkwardly in the corner checking people out, sweating profusely
  • You won't use your cell phone as a social crutch to pretend you’re talking to someone really important when in actual fact you’re smsing a friend telling them how lame the event is.

So here’s what you will actually learn:

  • Choose the right group to join
  • Join a group of strangers and what to say to them to put everyone at ease
  • Introduce yourself with confidence
  • Tips to make you feel more confident
  • Tips to ensure you reach your desired networking targets

Here we go big bird, it’s almost the big moment.
