Open to all LSE postgraduate students with an interest in Global Health, this event is intended to bring together students working on Global Health across a number of different programmes in different Departments. The evening will kick off with a networking session run by communications expert Donald Steel entitled: “Being more confident in a room full of strangers” – see more details below. This will be followed by drinks and an opportunity to meet fellow students and LSE faculty members working in Global Health from across the School.

About the networking session:

If you don’t feel totally confident about going into a room full of strangers, you’re in the majority! We know that the ability to network is critical for success in business, academic and personal life, yet most people would admit that it’s not something they feel completely comfortable with. We can engage with others online without difficulty, but when it is face to face, we feel it’s a struggle. In this informal and engaging session, international public relations expert, Donald Steel, will give you some practical and simple tools that will support your ability to work the room and appear more confident than you really are! You’ll discover that being prepared for the first five minutes of every conversation will enable you to conquer apprehension and network for success. At the end of the session there will be a fun opportunity for you to practise your new found skills and to mingle with other Global Health students and faculty members.

About the speaker:

Donald Steel is an international speaker and trainer in public relations, whose work includes coaching communications professionals and teams to improve their personal and group performance. Despite this, he is naturally an extremely shy person who dislikes rooms full of strangers. Fortunately, he has learned to overcome this.
