Awkward Introductions
Thursday, February 26 • 6:00 PM
Introductions—but slightly unprofessional (on purpose).
As young professionals, we regularly face high-stakes moments—introducing ourselves, pitching an idea, answering tough questions—and most of us get very little low-pressure practice. Enter Slightly Unprofessional: an event series built for exactly that.
The Concept
Warm introduction? Cold introduction? Get ready for neither and both—an awkward introduction. We'll match you with a stranger, you'll get to know them, then introduce them to another pair of guests (ideally also strangers). Then swap roles and they'll do the same for you. It's a rich, multifaceted exercise to work on your personal "pitch", listen carefully, practice paraphrasing, and see how what you share translates through someone else. Don't take it too seriously though :)
