How to Have a Meaningful Braindate
Braindatesaren’t presentations, they’re conversations that stem from a shared interest. Whether it’s an individual or group Braindate, keep the following 5 tips in mind to lead a meaningful meeting for everyone involved:
Make sure to introduce yourself and contribute to the discussion.
Ask your Braindate(s) what interests them about the topic.
Be transparent and open about your own experience related to the topic: you don’t need to be an expert to lead a Braindate!
Don’t forget! Everyone has something interesting they can add to the conversation. Adopt a beginner’s mindset.
