 e\nForming and cultivating relationships is at the heart of any succes
 sful fundraising campaign, volunteer drive, committee effort or commun
 ity building activity. This workshop will give you the confidence to p
 ursue your personal goals - from the importance of shaking hands and m
 aking eye contact, to tips on the best opening line and how to exit a 
 conversation gracefully. An amazing side benefit is that you'll learn 
 how to create a welcoming community space by keeping an eye out for ou
 tliers, considering yourself a host instead of a guest and knowing how
  to compliment someone without \"othering\" them.\n \nABOUT OUR PRESE
