This session is for everyone (no need to book!)

Apparently 70% of people hate networking events. For so many reasons: introversion, intimidation, a hatred of bragging, fear of social rejection, or simply just the cringiness of putting yourself out there. It only feels natural for a small percentage of us, so why does every industry event have the inevitable networking session that makes so many of us die inside?

But regardless of the reason for our avoidance, networking can be amazing for your career. You just have to rip of the band aid and get chatting! Psychologists argue that the best way to get through any daunting scenario is to imagine the worst, and then realise that whatever the worst is, you can get through it. So that's what we'll do. Call it immersion therapy, call it improv, doesn't matter, in this hour of networking, we're going to realise that even the worst scenario ever is actually a lot of fun - and value.
