PROACTIVELY INVITE PEOPLE INTO YOUR CONVERSATIONS
We have all been there. Glancing around the room on the first day of camp, a networking event, or community dinner wondering “Will I have anyone to talk to? It looks like everyone already knows each other!” The reality is that entering a conversation can truly be a difficult experience.
But you probably also remember that one guy who came over to you and said “Hey, I want to introduce you to my friend”, changing your entire experience and allowing you to feel part of the community. Try to pay it forward and make sure that at your next social event you’re cognizant of those who might not be familiar with the crowd or have a harder time expressing themselves and invite them into a discussion.
