“I was going to these networking events…I was turning up in rooms and it was all very structured, and I just hated it. I was getting really tired of it”
Lisa Partridge, founder of SIXCOMMS, joins us from the sunny island of Singapore where she has lived and worked for the last 15 years.
Lisa runs a regular walk and talk networking group, encouraging people to get outside, take a walk, have a chat and get creative discussing challenges and exchanging ideas.
Lisa explains the positive impact and benefits the walk and talk networking groups have on the people who attend. For example, how impending torrential rain formed a beautiful rainbow right at the end of a walk to perfectly frame a photograph. Or when one group member who arrived with a migraine felt so much better by the end of the walk.
Lisa also shares some insightful practical tips about running outdoor networking events, such as being aware of the weather, keeping hydrated, focusing on pace, being familiar with the route and knowing where the toilets are.
Lisa host her own podcast, the SIXCOMMS podcast, and she very willingly discusses what she has learnt and tips for starting your own podcast.
