Manchester Young Professionals’ Post

Transcript

OK, so you've just moved to Manchester, here's 5 things you can do right away to help you settle in and build a community. First up, if you're into fitness, join a community based gym. Whether it's something like High Rocks, CrossFit or even Pilates, it can be an amazing way to meet new people. Next up, find an event you like and book a ticket. Even if this means go and buy yourself, you will not regret it. I did this when I first moved to Manchester and I have met some of the most incredible people through the Manchester Young Professionals community. Another thing is to reach out to people. In your industry on LinkedIn? I did this and actually ended up getting myself a mentor and it has been the most amazing thing both professionally and personally. Another thing to do is join a run club, especially during the winter in these dark cold nights. It can be a great way to meet people in a fun social environment and make those winter runs feel a little bit less lonely. And finally, it probably sounds cliche, but just don't be afraid to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. It can be so daunting and scary moving to a new city. Especially when you don't know anyone. But believe me, there's so many incredible people you can meet and amazing memories you can make. Hopefully these were helpful and yeah, have a great day.
