A while back I made a post on X that would end up changing my life! (I know so dramatic, but seriously tho)
Let’s go back in time:

This was a great read!! It's definitely convinced me to do more coffee chats hahaha You just never know what connection will lead you to what you're looking for :) It's a testament to the power of community!
Thanks for reading Richard!! Totally agree, you never know what will happen :)
agree, a great read Ellie 👏👏
Great article and yes, coffee chats are a great way to meet people esp. for shy folks (like me)
Aw thank you Sophia! And definitely, it's less intimidating than going to a meetup with a bunch of people, but you'll still have the chance to connect with many people individually.
I agree.
me too 🙌
I literally came across your article from someone on LinkedIn, and now I'm convinced to do more coffee chats 😅
Aw! That's awesome! Hope you have some great coffee chats 😊
I feel inspired! I'm nervous to post that message like you did, but I should definetely do it. Thank you for sharing your experience Ellie!
Aw so glad to hear that Valeria! 💜😊 You definitely don't need to post it publicly, even DMing some friends at first works 😄
It's the "Going into the coffee chat with the intention of making a new friend" that aligns with my intention so perfectly, thank you Ellie 🙌
Love the bit about 'Communication Skills' because it allows me to get to know you a little and see where we might be similar
I usually drink a coffee and have some blueberries, and, if you didn't already know, i'd love to have one with you 💛
Just discovered this on Daily.dev. Reminds me of those days during COVID (and after) when I was longing for any kind of interactions with fellow hoomans. I think I had at least 1 coffee chat in a week. Cant do more than 3 (introvert lol🖖).
Interesting, but whom do you choose then and how do you "find" people? Like I said it's interesting, but to be honest I don't think this would be my cup of ... tea :D
oh my god this is so cool!! (And so brave of you! It takes courage to talk to 'strangers' from the internet 😮💨)
Thank you so much for sharing, really motivating to do more coffee chats ☕️
I love this for you @elliezub. This is amazing to see you reaching out and building connections and learning from and sharing with others. ❤️
Coffee chat will improve our communication skills and may get opportunities that we don't expect. Anyway, I going to give a try :)
Introvert here. Your articles makes it seem a lot less scary!
Thanks for the post.
This is amazing and inspiring
