“We should grab a coffee!”

How many times do you hear that, say that, and things actually never eventuate?

Networking can be a trap. We go to all these events, meet great people but it’s hard to stay in touch. Introducing a solution, this book, "The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings" by Nick Gray.

In Chapter One, Nick sets the challenge to host a cocktail party and through the book, guides you through the process with email templates, shopping lists, reminder email drafts ,

I accepted the challenge and hosted my first cocktail party last night.

The best part of the book is how simple the process is: Host it at your house, only run it for two hours, lead a couple of icebreakers and send everyone home. Hey, it is a s school night!

It was awesome having a range of friends from different circles, all together at my place. I so appreciate the LEGENDS who came along and brought such great vibes.

It’s important to keep these smallish, and I know a lot of awesome people (probably including you, if you’re reading this and in Brisbane), so I'll be hosting more for sure and love this as a low-key way to keep up relationships and introduce cool people to each other.
