Working the Room

Arrive with a plan. Leave with three names.

Most people walk into an event, find the one person they already know and stay there. This half-day is about the other two hours: who you came to meet, how to start, and how to leave a conversation well.

Who it is for

Anyone whose job involves rooms full of strangers: fundraisers, fee-earners, founders, business developers, membership and partnerships people.

You leave with

A plan for your next event. Three openers in your own words. A way of ending a conversation that makes the next one easier.

What we cover

Why rooms feel hard. Reading a room. Openers that are not lines. Introducing other people. Following up within a week.

How it runs

Half day, online or in person. Up to twelve, mixed sectors by design. Workbook, follow-up at thirty days.
