Become a great conversationalist 💬
Knowing how to start and maintain a conversation is a valuable skill for making connections, fostering relationships and being effective at work. Some people seem to be born conversationalists, but for the rest of us, these skills need to be learned and perfected. We offer insightful tips on how to be a better conversationalist.
Make new friends 👬🏻
Go beyond technical fluency with our weekly 1:1 chat sessions. Look forward to having meaningful conversations with interesting people and walk away with surprising perspectives and new ideas!
About the programme
-
The Kopi Date Brew is a 1:1 session where successfully enrolled members are onboarded to the Kopi Date community.
-
Active Listening is a set of communication skills that demonstrate empathy, compassion, understanding, and respect. Active Listening is different from the normal listening we do in our everyday conversations. Instead of just “waiting to talk” or thinking about what we’re going to say once our conversation partner stops speaking, active listening requires that the listener completely focus on absorbing, comprehending, and reflecting what the speaker is saying.
Because active listening directs all focus towards the speaker, it removes potential sources of stress, conflict and discomfort that can happen in a regular conversation.

For young adults 18-35.
Every participant is reviewed and may be subject to a background check to ensure they are friendly and considerate. All participants must successfully complete our online course, which includes a mock chat.
