Sign up for a Coffee Catch-up and exchange your experiences with someone else from ESNEFT for an informal chat.

They are a great way to expand your network and meet new people (face to face or via Teams).

There are a number of proven benefits to taking part in a coffee-catch-up:

• They are a great way to meet new people
• Make new networks
• Share experiences or circumstances and learn more about different sectors
• People who have attended Coffee Catch-ups (previously known as Randomised Coffee Trials) in the past, have enjoyed making new connections and the ability to share best practices and ideas.

Once you’ve signed up for a Coffee Catch-up you will be matched with someone else from a different department to arrange a virtual (via Teams) or a face to face catch up at a time that suit you both.

You can talk about whatever you want as long as you learn at least a little bit about the person you are meeting and what they do within the ESNEFT. Here are some ideas for ‘Talking Points’ to discuss during your coffee catch-up (optional):

• Introduce yourself, your role and the department you work in; where is it based?
• How long have you worked for ESNEFT and what did you do before this role?
• What are your interests or specialist skills?
• Are there any common misconceptions about your job?
• What projects are you working on at the minute? Are there any overlaps in the work you both do?
• What is one of your biggest achievements? (work or personal)
• What is one important skill that you think everyone should have?
• What was the reason that led you to signing up for a Coffee Catch-up? Would you do it again?
• What is one thing you are looking forward to doing when you retire?
• If you were famous, what would you be famous for?
• If you could eliminate one thing from your daily routine, what would it be and why?
