The workshop I went to was located at VC-2190 and was called “Small Talk, Big Deal.” It was for the Personal Enrichment category. I went on October 27, 2009 and it lasted from 12:30-2:30. This is, by far, the best workshop I attended at Baruch. What I learned from it will help me throughout life. This workshop taught us how valuable small talking is because it establishing networking for you. We went into how important networking is and how to act in front of your future boss, friends, or a random stranger. The goals of this workshop was the make the students understand that making small talks with others could be very useful because the more people you know, the better for your future.
We walked around the room in order to get to know one another. It was practice for when we enter the business world. This workshop was so much better than I expected because it gave me useful lessons that I will carry for the rest of my life. I learned that I have to overcome my shyness and have to be more open to others in order to make new friends, get ahead in my future career, and it will really help me in order aspects of my life. I actually heard about this workshop by accident at the last minute but I am so glad that I did because it was benefit me for the rest of my life.
