Many of you might not know this, but back when I was living in Manila, I used to host in-person coffee meetups on the Internations platform. Why? Well, I wanted to push myself outside my comfort zone, become more sociable, and develop my group social skills. Little did I know, those meetups would lead to some amazing friendships – friendships that have become incredibly important to our family. Iris, Vanessa, and Alan, I'm looking at you!
Then the World came to a grinding halt due to COVID, and those in-person meetups naturally transitioned to virtual events. It was an interesting shift – a little less personal, but with the amazing perk of welcoming people from all over the world!
I took these experiences and applied it professionally too, and I've also had a blast hosting coffee events for my remote teams over the years. It's a fantastic way to break the ice and build connections, even across geographical distances.
So, inspired by these experiences, I'm excited to announce that I'm launching regular (hopefully) virtual coffee events! Currently, I'm using Eventbrite to manage these events, and the plan is to make them a monthly occurrence. Of course, how often we meet will depend on how well they're received!
