Guess who’s coming to breakfast?
A friend and I were having a conversation about my 365 day adventure and she was expressing the fact that she felt the need to get out of her comfort zone but didn’t know where to start.
Hmmmm?
We had not seen each other in over a month due to conflicting work schedules, so I suggested an early breakfast before our days commenced.
But I had a plan!
The Sofitel Hotel is known to be the power breakfast spot for business people due to its location, casual yet sophisticated menu, impeccable service and ambiance. As I have learned through experience go where the people go!
I arrive to find her sitting at a square table for 2, smack in the middle of the room; open arms greeted me with “I am so happy I could get us my favorite table!” Ok. This needs to be addressed! However there are priorities, lets order!
Coffee, yogurt parfait, scrumptious omelets and conversation about children, work, current events were all on the menu. All the while we are enjoying the scenery which leads me back to our seating arrangement.
I pointed out that while we were central, We could individually only see half the room. Not optimal for people watching.
Tip of the day: Request a table for four against a wall where both people can see the expanse of the room. The extra seats are a welcoming invitation to anyone that may want to join.
Bet your question is did we meet anyone during? My answer is, but of course!
That morning ended up being great for business networking. Who knows where that could lead? While working together on a event for his company I may meet Mr Right!
Do you have any people watching- socializing tips to share?
