June Event – Audrey Kuah
Enabling Success
Networking tip #307Don't wait around the edges of the room, waiting for someone to approach you.
To get the conversation started, simply walk up to a person or a group, and say, "May I join you" or "What brings you to this event?" or "What was your worst job"
Don't forget to listen intently to their replies. If you're not a natural extrovert, you're probably a very good listener – and listening can be an excellent way to get to know a person.
