WAY Youth Networking
The Youth Networking provides a platform for young working adults around 25 to 35 years old to network and learn about the Dhamma. We hope that the young working adults would eventually be able to find good spiritual friends to provide support for each other in their daily life.

A typical networking session would last about 3 hours, usually on a Friday night in the city area. We would usually have a short ice-breaking activity to kickstart the session. Inspiring Dhamma speakers, mostly practising Buddhists, are invited to share their Dhamma knowledge and work-life experiences. The participants are also provided with an opportunity to share and clarify any questions. Of course, simple but sumptuous refreshments would be provided.

"Admirable friendship, admirable companionship, admirable camaraderie is actually the whole of the holy life. When a monk has admirable people as friends, companions, & comrades, he can be expected to develop & pursue the Noble Eightfold Path."
- SN 45.2

 

 
Tips on Networking

Some pointers on Networking as shared by Mr Jackson Tan, one of the speakers.

  • Smile is the most precious tool
  • Introduce yourself in a unique way  
  • Networking session is meant for networking per se.  Be mindful when we eat the refreshments provided and avoid getting oneself into a messy situation
  • Exchange name cards with potential contacts. Follow up with a call or email after the networking session
    Be ready to give and avoid attending networking session with the intention to receive

Hope you find the tips useful.  Take the first step to network by joining us on our next networking session.  Please drop us an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or click here to check the dates.
