From Performance to Connection: The Social Psychology of Networking 

Ever left a networking event mentally replaying every conversation? Wondering if you sounded awkward, overthinking every word, feeling like you were performing instead of just being yourself?

You're not alone. And here's the exciting part: there's real psychology behind why some professional interactions feel natural while others leave us mentally exhausted.  Join us for an eye-opening evening with Zlatka S. Jaouen as we explore what psychology research reveals about the subtle dynamics that shape how we connect with others. This isn't just theory – it's an interactive workshop that will give you practical tools to make networking feel more authentic and way less draining.

What You'll Discover

🧠 The Science of Social Connection: Uncover what psychology research reveals about social perception, self-awareness, and why we sometimes feel self-conscious in professional settings.

💭 From Overthinking to Authentic Connection: Understand the cognitive patterns that trigger impostor-style distortions and turn conversation into performance.

💡 Practical Strategies You Can Use: Walk away with concrete tools for building more genuine professional connections and networking with confidence.
