Shy Professionals of Vancouver

Ever go to a meetup, hoping to meet some new people and just end up like a wall flower? You spend the time hoping someone will approach you? Ever see someone walk in like they own the place, saying hi to everyone and wonder how they do it? Are they just naturally confident? Did they learn how to talk to people? What’s their secret?

The secret that is hiding in plain sight is that you can learn to be more socially confident in a totally normal, natural way. In fact… we all learn it, either as children or as adults… no one is born social… We are “socialized” at a young age or we actively learn it as we get older.

And here is the thing, you don’t need to be over the top confident to get great results socially. You can just be a regular person who makes people feel great to be around and you’ll find more romantic opportunities start popping up, more career invitations and more community connections come your way

Think of your social skills as the tide that raises all the boats of your life:
Social, romantic, professional, self love and confidence, physical health, family dynamics, mental health and focus… we are social creatures and do better in relationship with other humans!

We are putting on a FREE virtual event to help you build the social confidence to make magic happen at your next in person meetup or the next time you are at a cafe or grocery store or just out walking your dog… literally ANYWHERE there are people you can utilise what you’ll learn at our free workshop.

Over the course of 90 minutes we will cover:

Approach someone naturally without the awkwardness of “approaching”
Start conversations that flow effortlessly because you get THEM talking
What the huge social/dating/professional opportunity is in 2025
Where to meet people and turn casual encounters into meaningful connections

Overcome social anxiety and build unshakeable confidence
The end of summer months offer more social opportunities than any other time of year.

Don't let another summer slip by wondering “what if?!”

This is about becoming the most authentic, magnetic version of yourself for all areas of your life. You'll leave with an action plan and the confidence to put yourself out there.

Perfect for: Singles ready to meet someone special, introverts wanting to expand their social circle, or anyone tired of not having enough real-world connection!
