This event is about one of the most misunderstood parts of professional advancement: informal networking. Too many people treat coffee chats as either social small talk or thinly disguised begging. This session will teach attendees how to use them well by asking better questions, building genuine rapport, signaling competence, and staying memorable after the conversation ends. The workshop will focus on how to move from a first introduction to a real relationship, and from a real relationship to referrals, interviews, and opportunities. In plain English: how to stop collecting conversations and start converting them into traction.
