Speed Dating Skills: Solid Connection 6 minutes

Classroom

What You’ll Learn

Whether or not you are ever planning on going to a speed dating event, the skills that make one successful at speed dating, transfer over to meeting anyone in brief encounter. NYC is the land of fleeting meetings. It becomes very difficult to:

determine who is worth your time, and
create a connection with those who you definitely want to see again later.

Speed dating is based on the idea that you can truly evaluate someone's character within a few minutes of meeting them. In Malcolm Gladwell's best-seller, Blink, he mentions how having too much information about someone actually clouds your ability to judge. The problem is, most speed daters talk too much and communicate too little.

It's not about trading facts. In 6 minutes, all you can really do is vibe. In this class, I will break down the face to face interaction and show you how to create a connection in just a few minutes.
