Leadership Lab #3 – Conversation Skills for Meeting New People

It’s easy to start a conversation, but what do you say after getting past “hello, how are you”? Since we have been online for so long, it can feel harder to really get to know the people that we interact with. It can also be hard to connect with people when dealing with the start of a new academic year, especially if you are new to Toronto. Research shows that building meaningful social connections is strongly correlated with our academic achievements, mental wellbeing, and professional success. Come meet some new people and push your comfort zone by practicing conversation skills at this interactive session on powerful conversations. All engineering students at any level of study and English-language proficiency are welcome!

Attend 4 or more ILead Leadership Labs over the academic year to receive recognition on your Co-Curricular Record (CCR)
