Resumé writing meets speed dating meets repair café! This meetup takes the awkwardness out of networking and matches you with people who can help move your technical communication forward. We will start with a quick, guided brainstorming session that will help you define the unique skills that set you apart. A second round of brainstorming guides you in formulating your biggest challenges and areas where you could use an expert's help. By granting permission to be both confident and to show vulnerabilities, this method helps to quickly match experts to those seeking help. With all information out on the table, participants are grouped together and the problem solving can begin. This transparent method allows participants to see exactly who has the skills and experience that could help fill in their own knowledge gaps, creating meaningful connections.
