In this episode, I show you how to find your people, have more fun, and create meaningful friendships as an adult in a very simple way.
And it starts with your morning coffee.
Plus, I’m sharing 4 opening lines and tactics you can use when approaching a potential new friend.
Can we just be honest? Making new friends as an adult is so hard. And I believe that we are all struggling with it.
So I’m going to share the strategies that I have used in the last year to go from moving to a new town and feeling like I have "no friends" to taking the steps to create an awesome new circle of adult friends.
Today you’ll learn:
- The ONE practical and life-changing tool you need to create adult friendships
- A fun framework for friendship that involves the 4 different types of coffee shops in your area
- The lies we all tell ourselves about friendships that keep us thinking we have none
- How remote work has changed the friendship game
- The single best place to park yourself on a Saturday morning to find your people
- How to approach a stranger (potential friend) without coming across as weird, creepy, or awkward
What I’m sharing today works because this is how I found my people in the last 12 months.
