Anyone else dread networking? Anyone else ever been to a "networking event" that consists of groups of people standing in a room, business cards out, and looking at each other awkwardly?

Several people have asked how to navigate SMALL TALK.
Small talk is everywhere. No matter where you go, we all have small talk. It serves an essential purpose in allowing us to acknowledge each other without having to exert energy.
But, you can get better at it! And it's really important to get better at. Because most relationships start with small talk. And that next small talk conversation you have may lead to a life changing relationship.

Their ability to listen, ask questions, help search through intense emotion, and collaboratively bring someone to a safer place is incredible. Due to this - I spent a lot of this episode asking about ways to employ these conversational and social skills in our everyday ..read more

The three most common places people meet others (including their romantic partners) are church, work, and the bar. So, more than likely, you may go out to a bar. But what are you supposed to do when you're there? How do you meet people? How do you make friends? What do you avoid?
Well I don't know the answer to these questions. I am so uneducated when it comes to navigating nightlife, but Nana has some ideas.
