Conversation Confidence

Wed, Oct 14, 7:00 AM

From Transformational Leaders Collective

4.5

**How to start a conversation with anyone in the room, keep it going, and steer it where you want it.** > *“Asking ‘what do you do?’ at networking events is boring, predictable and often doesn’t work.” \~\~ Jonathan Lee* Great conversations open doors, and it’s a skill most people are never taught. This is a hands-on night. You’re on your feet practising, not sitting and listening. You leave pitch-ready, and having actually met the room. **Do any of these sound familiar?** **“I froze.” -** You got introduced to exactly the right person, and had nothing ready. **“I skipped it.” -** You avoid the rooms where those conversations happen. Part of you wishes you didn’t. **“I had my pitch. Then they asked something else.” -** Preparing what you want to say is the easy half. **“I did all the talking.” -** Conversation is two-way. Most preparation only covers your half of it. **You'll walk away with five things.** ☕ **Make a friend in a sixty-second coffee queue** Not small talk that dies at the counter. A short exchange that ends with someone glad they met you. 🎯 **A simpler way to say what you’re about** Short enough to say in a queue, clear enough that the right people lean in. 👂 **Listening that makes it better for both of you** The half of the conversation most people never practice. 😄 **When to use humour, and when to leave it alone** For the moment a conversation gets too serious, or slides off-topic. 🗺️ **Knowing which conversation you’re actually in** There’s more than one kind. Each one is worth something different, and they’re not interchangeable. **Why this isn’t a networking night.** You’ll be **practicing**, not listening. **Practice Sessions** **1\. Stop opening with “what do you do?”** *“Instead of starting a conversation by finding out what people do, be more interested in who they are and why they do it.”* **Jonathan’s own line**, and the first thing the night changes. **2\. You practise on each other** It’s a hands-on workshop. The icebreaker, all three sessions and the close are things you do, in pairs and small groups. **Nobody sits through a slide deck about rapport.** **3\. Curve balls are the point** You can rehearse your pitch. You can’t rehearse what they ask back. **Session three is the room asking each other the hard questions** and making the comments you didn’t see coming — on purpose, where it costs nothing. **Doors at 6:00. Finished by 8:00.** Doors open at 6:00pm with light snacks and drinks, and time to meet a few people. **The session itself starts at 6:30 and runs in five blocks.** **6:30 – 6:45** **Block 1 - Icebreaker** You introduce yourself to the group, the way Jonathan tells you to, which is designed to make you memorable. **6:45 – 7:05** **Block 2 - Spot the moment** Taking advantage of a networking situation as it turns up in front of you. **7:05 – 7:25** **Block 3 - Say what you’re about** Fine-tuning your values and your proposition so they stand out. **7:25 – 7:45** **Block 4 - Curve balls** On each other. The hard questions, and the comments you didn’t see coming. **7:45 – 8:00** **Block 5 - Conclusion** What you noticed about yourself, and about everyone else. 👉🏽 Register to attend this FREE event. 🎟️ Go to [https://sweh.yohi.app/johnathan-lee/](https://sweh.yohi.app/johnathan-lee/)
