The Unlikely Connection Challenge Theme: Connect with someone you’d never normally talk to Today’s activity is all about expanding your network in unexpected ways. Your mission: Pick someone who you wouldn’t normally reach out to — maybe they’re in a totally different industry, a different personality style, or they post about things you don’t usually pay attention to — and send them a simple message: “Hey, I realised I’ve never actually connected with you properly and I’m curious about what you’re working on right now. What’s lighting you up at the moment?” Why this works (and why it's quirky): We all gravitate toward “people like us,” which means we often miss out on the surprising opportunities sitting just outside our bubble. The most magical introductions often come from unexpected directions. It builds your confidence in connecting beyond your comfort zone. And it makes someone’s day — because everyone loves to be approached with genuine curiosity. Bonus twist: Reach out to someone whose profile photo gives you a “mystery vibe” or someone you’ve seen comment on posts but never interacted with. Make it playful. Pretend you’re discovering a character in a movie. 🎬✨ At the end of the day, share in the group:

Hi everyone! My name is Elias and from Texas, USA! I’ve been on Skool for a while as a consumer but just recently made my own community! I had the opportunity to invest in a new push notifications platform that allows you to send push notifications..without an app. This is great for community owners, coaches, content creators, YouTube, influencers, etc. This allows you to have a direct connection to your audience and be able to have a unfiltered channel of communication Imagine if every time you dropped a new module or posted an event, your members got a real-time alert? Not a Skool notification they might miss Not an email buried in a promotions tab But an actual message that popped up on their lock screen This is what you can do with a Community Pass! I believe this will help communities grow and build a deeper connection I’m looking for a couple community owners who have a few members already and want to try some new 😊 I want to get some great case studies to be able to show off 😁

If networking drains your energy or feels a little intimidating, you’re not alone—and you’re not at a disadvantage. In fact, introverts often make the most genuine, meaningful connections because they listen deeply, notice details others miss, and build trust naturally. Here are some simple ways to make networking feel lighter, calmer, and more aligned with who you are: ✨ 1. Set an intention before you walk in or connect online. Decide what you want to get out of the event, one meaningful conversation, meeting someone new, or simply showing up. ✨ 2. Start small. Aim for quality over quantity. One great conversation can open more doors than ten quick hellos. ✨ 3. Use curiosity as your superpower.Introverts excel at asking thoughtful questions. Let your natural curiosity guide you—people love to feel seen and heard. ✨ 4. Prepare a few go-to conversation starters.This takes the pressure off. Try something simple like, “What brings you here today?” or “Tell me about your business.” Easy, open, and flowing. ✨ 5. Follow up while the energy is high. A short message the next day can turn a quick chat into a long-term relationship. Remember, your gentle presence is powerful. Your ability to connect deeply is a gift. Show up with intention, trust your energy, and let the universe open the right doors for you. introverts in the group, let us know you're here!
