Your Expert Guide to Mingling Like a Pro

About this episode

Whether you’ve got a family event, party, christmas gathering or even a date coming up, the fear of the conversation drying up & having no way out is VERY real.

So how do we nail mingling & turn it into a core skill rather than something that brings us out in a cold sweat?

Fear not - I’ve called in the professionals for this one.

Jeanne Martinet is an expert in it - in fact so many people asked her for her advice that she wrote a book about it & she’s now the author of The Art of Mingling alongside a whole host of other books.
