Small talk and networking are essential for any scientist looking to advance their career and build new collaborations. It can be, however, a daunting task, especially for those who are introverted or new to the field.
In this seminar, you will gain a deep understanding of the fundamentals of engaging small talk in academia and beyond. By the end of the workshop, you will have a toolbox of best-practice techniques which you can use and refine on your own.
We will practice a number of best-practice techniques which will help you to have meaningful and pleasant conversations and establish lasting relationships with colleagues and peers. There will be plenty of time to discuss individual questions about specific small talk situations and sustainable networking. This is a 100% interactive and practical seminar, so be ready to actively participate and have fun!
