Overcoming the Obstacles I’m shy.

Communication 55% visual 38% vocal 7% verbal

Plan Ahead Well-dressed Keep your hands free Wear a nametag Business cards No cell phone

Entering the Room Center yourself and observe a few seconds Scan the room - power groups tend to form in the corners Mentally decide on one or two people you want to meet

Q: Who should you approach? A. a single individual standing alone B. a group of 2 individuals deeply engrossed in a conversation C. a group of 4-5 individuals chatting

Opening Line Relax! Smile! Establish eye contact Extend a handshake Introduce yourself

Initiate a Conversation 3 ways this can be done:  Ask questions  Voice an opinion  State a fact 3 ways to start a conversation:  Talk about the situation  Talk about yourself  Talk about the other person

The Art of Conversation Brainstorm discussion topics Look for a connection Limit conversations to 10 minutes

The Art of Conversation Don’t talk in jargon Talk about lots of things Set a goal Ask someone to introduce you

Avoid Negativity Complaining Interrupting One upping Correcting Using sarcasm

Remember: MODERATION Don’t monopolize Don’t tell too many jokes Don’t interrogate help!

Sticky Situations If you get stuck with someone…  Do not abandon them  Introduce them to someone else  “Let’s go meet people together” Don’t hang out with only people you know Don’t stand too close to someone

Leaving the Event Thank the host Don’t be the last person to leave

Practice, Practice, Practice

Networking Mistakes Being unprepared Being too passive Forgetting your business cards Using an unprofessional address Monopolizing all of someone’s time Talking only to people you know Waiting too long to start

Follow up Include the name of the event “It was nice to meet you” Refer to something specific Include your last name & contact info

Conclusion Plan Listen Enjoy!
