NETWORKING TIPS
Flipping the script on traditional marketing with Small Talks
Let’s be real - networking can be uncomfortable...
Walking into a room full of strangers, attempting to strike up a conversation while everyone else seems to be catching up with their established circles? It’s intimidating!
If you’ve ever found yourself lingering near the refreshment table or pretending to check your phone just to avoid awkward small talk, you’re not alone and we want to change that!
