PD Bootcamp #3 | Afterwork Workshop (In-Person)

Networking x Design: Reimagining the Process of Relationship-Building in Group Settings

Monday, January 29, 2024
5pm-6:30pm
Rockwell Automation | 1201 S. 2nd Street Milwaukee, WI 53204

We all want to find our “tribe” of like-minded people to exchange information and ideas and share common interests. However, enriching and expanding one’s social circle has traditionally meant attending networking events where working a room and making a glowing first impression induces fight-or-flight instincts.

Discover the joy of authentic connections in this special Bootcamp session hosted by Geraud Blanks and Maureen Post of Culture x Design. Forget the awkward dance of traditional networking events and learn actionable tips to shift your mindset and navigate a room effortlessly. They’ll use a film-based approach to simulate the networking environment. Separated into small groups, participants engage in meaningful conversations, learning the art of relationship-building across disciplines, industries, and cultures from each other.

You will be surprised how a “getting-to-know” session quickly turns into more profound discussions that facilitate community building.

Attend, and you will:

• Analyze and dissect the art of conversation to enhance social intelligence.
• Engage in exercises that develop your social muscles for success in a social environment.
• Learn techniques for navigating emotionally fraught or controversial topics.
• Develop skills for building authentic, long-term relationships around shared interests.

Join us to unlock the secrets of genuine relationship building and pave the way for success in building your circle of connections. Don’t miss this opportunity to refine your approach and elevate your connection skills!
