So what makes someone enjoyable to talk to?

I love a giggle.

I want to laugh.
16:36
I want to laugh.
16:37
I think you'll find your resonance points.

Like, as you speak to someone, you'll find your resonance points.

What's something students maybe don't consider enough when they're thinking about networking?
3:47
What would you say could be one thing to help with starting that conversation?
3:51
So I think hopefully you are able to open it, like be the fire starter of that dialogue or you're able to spark that dialogue by just bringing it up and being like, hey, I feel like we should have a wrap up from this project or a wash up or whatever people want to call a post project.
4:09
call or post-project meeting where you look at what worked well and what could be better and if that is not being received or if that is not being taken up by the seniors in your team do it for yourself like you write down what worked well for you and what could be even better the next time so that when the next project comes along you already have it in your head of being like Like, I actually feel like we might have wasted time on X, Y and Z, but I've already considered A, B and C and how to do it differently because I had to think about it after we completed the last project.
4:42
Like, how can you make it firstly easier for yourself, especially if you're not more senior in your team or one of the leaders on the project? look at how you can make it better for yourself.
4:52
And then if you are more senior or one of the leaders on the project, then just set it up, put it in people's diaries.
4:58
Whoever shows up, shows up.
5:00
And hopefully, you know, they listen to your seniority and your level in the team and you have that meeting.
