Offers and Needs Market
a networking session
Take the first steps in gaining confidence around making offers and expressing your needs. Discover this asset-based approach to supporting our communities.
In this engaging networking session you will identify and exchange passions, knowledge, skills, resources, opportunities, and needs. From finding a place to live or a creative partner to offering graphic design services, public speaking techniques or even a special food recipe. Anything’s possible at an Offers and Needs Market! Go through a safe and fun process of reflecting, sharing, and connecting within breakout rooms.
During this session you will learn:
- How to more confidently express your offers.
- A step-by-step process that you can implement immediately in your community.
- How to get comfortable with sharing your needs.
- How to use silence during meetings to include more introverted people.
- An asset-based approach that can be used to map your community’s offers and needs.
