 volunteer drive, committee effort or community building activity. This
  workshop will give you the confidence to pursue your personal goals -
  from the importance of shaking hands and making 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 c
 ommunity space by keeping an eye out for outliers, considering yoursel
 f a host instead of a guest and knowing how to compliment someone with
 out \"othering\" them.ABOUT OUR PRESENTERRobbie Samuels has extensive
