As a kid, you were probably told that you shouldn’t talk to strangers. And for kids, that’s probably good advice. But, as we get older and start developing personal and professional relationships, talking to strangers can be a great thing.
In general, talking to strangers may seem daunting, but it's worth the effort. Not only can it lead to new connections and friendships, but it can also help break down social barriers and give you a fresh perspective on life. That is definitely the case at a professional networking event. The idea of networking does not have to be complicated. I think the lesson here is a simple one—step outside your comfort zone, meet new people, and try to make connections. Sure, it can be “scary” but sometimes you get lucky and score your next client, job or simply a friend. So in summary, at the next event, avoid the people you know and go up to a stranger, introduce yourself, and enjoy conversation. You never know who you will meet.
