In the Know (June 2021 edition)
Hi everyone! We hope you are safe and well. To virtual or to in-person, is the question on everyone’s mind as things in the UK and around the world seem to fluctuate between lockdown measures and hot girl summer. We kick off this newsletter with Mary’s thought process for deciding whether in-person is worth it or not.
Assuming it is safe for you to do so, some arguments for attending in-person events and gatherings.
Connect with new people — meeting people online is great but remember connection and compatibility are much easier to determine face-to-face.
Get to meet internet friends in the flesh — consider which friendships or connections you want to take to the next level and suggest meeting in person for a walk or a coffee at a cute spot
Build up your social skills — it is easy to forget how to engage with people when you can’t go on mute. Start with 1:1 meetings to gradually build up your social skills for in-person conversations
Address your social anxiety — the more you hype up your first restaurant visit, meeting or BBQ post-lockdown, the more nervous you get and resort to staying in the comfort of your home
Finally, seize the day — there is no time like the present to get out there and make memories!
Overall, do what is best for you but don’t become afraid of being outside or in social places. You got this!

Looking for support finding your career calling and accelerating your career growth?
Email us to purchase the recordings of the Thrive career workshops. A 3-part series guiding early to mid-career professionals in their career development journey. The workshop series follows the PIE methodology evaluating the role of Performance, Image and Exposure for the benefit of your career.
Feedback from an attendee: I’ve always just focused on Performance up until this point, but now I think it’s time to step up my game with Image and Exposure. I found the workshops fun and interactive, and I enjoyed how you made everyone feel comfortable to openly share their thoughts, opinions and experiences. I’d definitely recommend these workshops to anyone looking to enhance their personal brand and THRIVE both personally and professionally.
