More Interesting Experiences

I recently attended a speed-networking event, which was a lot of fun, and also forced me to a) come up with a concise summary of what it is I do and b) get some practice in telling people what I do.

Those two things sound simple enough yet, somehow, it’s something that doesn’t necessarily come naturally. Anyway, following on from this event I received an invite to attend a “networking brekkie”, which I went to this morning.

I have to say, it was brilliant. Once more I was pushed out of my comfort zone, and had to speak publicly to a group of about a dozen or so people about what I do. I didn’t know what to expect to be honest, and I am happy to report that the “audience” was a very supportive group who even laughed at my jokes. The post-meeting mingling was very positive as well – people actually made the effort to introduce themselves, which doesn’t always happen at these things, it has to be said!

Overall it was very enjoyable spending time with some proper business people, and educational too!
