Beyond Coffee Chat: Spark New Possibilities with Networking

Networking comes naturally to some. For others, walking into a room full of people and figuring out who to approach, what to say or how to move beyond the usual small talk can feel surprisingly difficult.

For Ave Peetri, networking has been an essential part of building both professional and personal connections across the world. Having lived in nine countries and worked internationally across the USA, Europe and the Middle East, she has experienced first-hand what it means to enter new environments, build relationships and create opportunities through people.

On 24 September, the Scandinavian Chamber of Commerce in Estonia (SCCE) and the British-Estonian Chamber of Commerce (BECC) invite you to Beyond Coffee Chat – an interactive 45-minute workshop with Ave exploring how we can make networking feel more natural, purposeful and authentic.

And this will not be a session where you simply sit and listen.

Expect to challenge some of your own networking habits, try new approaches and explore how your own personality, values and strengths can become an advantage when connecting with others.

What to expect

• A highly interactive 45-minute workshop
• Practical tools you can use at your next networking event
• New ways to approach people and start conversations
• An opportunity to reflect on your own networking style and strengths
• Plenty of opportunities to put the ideas into practice immediately afterwards

Whether you love networking or would normally rather avoid it, the goal is simple: to leave with at least one new approach you can actually use.
