We’ve all been there — standing in a room full of professionals, clutching a drink, and praying someone else starts the conversation. The truth is, most people feel the same way. Networking doesn’t have to be uncomfortable if you lead with curiosity, not pressure. Here are a few tips that make it easier: 👋 Start simple: “What brings you here today?” works better than a rehearsed pitch. 💬 Be curious: Ask open-ended questions — people love talking about what they’re passionate about. 🤝 Be generous: Offer insight, introductions, or even just good energy. And remember, you don’t need to talk to everyone in the room. One genuine conversation is worth more than ten surface-level chats. What’s your go-to icebreaker or networking question?
