Time to start socialising again

After a difficult year with limited opportunities to network and socialise, it is now time to start braving the world again. Socialising and networking is really good for the mental health of business owners and during the pandemic we had to sacrifice this essential part of both our social and business lives. 

It may feel a little difficult to start socialising again, as we all feel a bit of out of practice in our interpersonal skills. Just remember you are not alone in this, although everyone has been talking about how they can’t wait to get back out, many will struggle with social situations post pandemic. 

Start by choosing opportunities where you know you will be able to mix with like-minded people, as this will help the conversation flow more easily. It can also really help to go with someone else, rather than alone, as then at least you already have one person you know to talk to.
