Workshop: Confidence & First Impressions

​Confidence and making valuable first impressions are instrumental skills in networking and professional advancement — and yet they are not treated methodically. This skills development online workshop will support students and career professionals by giving focused, diagnostic advice on how to ace a first impression and socially network. As many people come from underrepresented backgrounds and face compounded socioeconomic barriers to professional spaces, this workshop aims to amplify the professional and social reach of ambitious, results-driven young people.

​Attendees will gain an increased understanding of the nuances of networking, the pros and cons of different networking strategies, and the incremental improvements in lifestyle and presence that have measurable benefits on first impressions. This event aims to erode barriers to professional networking by giving an interactive overview of how to effectively network and enter new spaces in education and the workplace.
