Communication Is Not Enough: Build Your Connectability

Learn why communication skills are not enough in today’s world – and discover connectability, the skill that helps you build genuine relationships, feel more confident, and make people want to talk to you.

### 🧩 Communication Is Not Enough: Build Your Connectability

You can be good with words and still feel disconnected from people.
You might:

• Struggle to start conversations or keep them going
• Feel nervous in groups, meetings, or social events
• Speak “correct” English, but still feel like you’re not truly connecting
• Worry about what others think of you, so you hold back

That’s where connectability comes in.
Connectability is your ability to truly connect with another person – not just talk at them.
It’s about how you:

• Show up in a conversation
• Make others feel seen, safe, and valued
• Build trust, interest, and real relationships

In this session, we’ll explore why communication alone is not enough – and what to do instead.

### 🔍 What you’ll learn

By the end of this workshop, you will:

• Understand the difference between communication and connectability
• Discover how your beliefs, personality and emotions influence the way you connect
• Learn practical tools to:
• Start conversations with more ease
• Make people feel comfortable around you
• Express yourself more confidently, even if English is not your first language
• Get a simple framework you can use in everyday life, at work, uni, or networking events

This is not a theory-heavy lecture. It’s interactive, practical and friendly.

### 👤 Who is this for?

This event is for you if you are:

• A young professional or student
• An international or English is your second language
• Someone who wants to:
• Feel more confident meeting people
• Build stronger friendships and connections
• Improve how you show up in conversations, at work or in your community

You do not need to be an extrovert or an experienced speaker.
If you sometimes overthink, feel awkward, or worry about saying the wrong thing – you’re in the right place.
