A new way to network, learn and catch vibes.
Recently, a new app has made waves within the culture. Shifting the focus from visuals to a more conversational style of engaging with social media, Clubhouse is an invite-only audio-based social media app. This app allows users to enter into different rooms to listen or participate in conversations. Similar to communicating with individuals at social events, Clubhouse allows you to explore new perspectives and engage in the art of conversation.
Here are five reasons why you need to get hip to the Clubhouse:
- Networking: Boss up and step into Clubhouse. The app allows for the opportunity to connect with an exclusive network of individuals. Connect with celebrities, tech gurus, professionals, or even individuals who may share similar interests.
- Improve your active listening: Active listening is a skill; it entails more than just hearing someone speak. When we practice active listening, we are fully concentrating on what is being said rather than responding. Since Clubhouse presents as an audio-based platform, consumers can master this skill by actively listening to conversations on the app and only choosing to engage if a moderator invites or an individual raises their hand. Remember, active listening helps build relationships, solve problems, ensure understanding, and resolve conflicts.
- Enhance your public speaking skills: Clubhouse can help you practice your public speaking skill by getting you talking about topics of interest. Learn to talk to individuals or a large group without a sense of pressure.
- Find a collective based on your interest: On the app, it is relatively easy to connect with people who have similar interests. Check out bios and join clubs based on your interest. If you don’t find a conversation or club you like to start your own.
- Educate yourself and hear new perspectives: Pop into a conversation and listen; you will find yourself learning about different topics as well as hearing new perspectives alternate to your own views. There is great value in recognizing different perspectives in conversations; different perspectives allow us to hear and react as well as connect with others.
