Talking Business: Elevate Your Networking Game

Last night, I attended an inspiring Christmas event organized by Paul Canning and his 58 Networking team at the elegant Iluzione Restaurant in Barcelona. With its cozy ambiance, delightful wine, and great music, it was the perfect setting for an evening of meaningful connections.

What made this event stand out wasn't just the festive atmosphere, it was the way conversations flowed. Instead of sticking to small circles, attendees were encouraged to connect genuinely. And it all started with a simple question: "What do you do?"

At first glance, it might seem like an ordinary question, but in this setting, it became a powerful tool. It opened doors to deep, meaningful conversations, giving everyone, from seasoned professionals to first-time networkers, a chance to share their stories.

This event reminded me of the true essence of networking: it's not just about exchanging business cards, it's about exchanging ideas, experiences and visions. For anyone feeling nervous about networking, events like these are a gift. They create a space to practice, gain confidence, and find common ground.

A Tip for Future Networking Events

Forget about just small talk. Ask meaningful questions that let others share their passions and purpose. Remember, your story is unique, tell it with confidence. The more you practice, the easier it becomes to connect authentically.

A huge thanks to 58 Networking for creating such a welcoming space. Events like these are steps toward building a stronger, more connected entrepreneurial community.
