No BS, just real talk
↓
You walk into a room full of strangers with a name tag stuck to your chest and your heart pounding like you’re about to perform on stage.
Now what?
Those first few minutes after you arrive at a networking event may feel like an eternity, but I promise you there's an easy way to start meeting people.
If the thought of starting a conversation at a networking event makes your skin crawl, you're not alone, and you're not wrong for feeling that way.
🤦🏻♀️ The truth is, most people are winging it. They either talk too much, pitch too fast, or hover near the snack table pretending to text.
Here’s the thing: effective networking has nothing to do with a slick elevator pitch. It's about real, unscripted moments that build trust.
🤝 And after attending over 50 networking events (and walking into more awkward rooms than I care to admit), I’ve cracked a simple, practical system for breaking the ice that actually works.
Forget the cheesy openers or robotic intros. I’m giving you the exact moves I use to confidently start conversations without feeling like I’m selling anything, faking it, or dying inside.
These secrets won’t just get you talking.
They’ll help you connect.
And the best part? They’re easy to use tonight if you have an event coming up (hello, Miami Tech Week!)
There’s one subtle move in particular that turns the conversation from small talk to real connection... and most people never think to use it.
👉 Want to know what it is? This one shift can change everything.
