[Blindtlk] How to "work a room."

[Mark Tardif]

Hi, Judy,

I think this very much depends on the kind of group situation you are 
dealing with.  I attended a week-long seminar last week in which I only knew 
two other people.  Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you see 
these things, I was busy trying to resolve computer issues with a 
technologist so I didn't have a lot of time to feel uncomfortable.  Also, 
introductions were built into the seminar as well as a social time with 
supper, which made things much easier.  In some instances, you may just need 
to take some risks, walk up to someone and introduce yourself.  Just do it. 
It helps if you have questions about the situation you are in, so you can 
actually discuss something with someone you are introducing yourself to.  I 
remember once while waiting to board a flight not knowing what zone my seat 
was in, and asking the person waiting next to me to please read my boarding 
pass.  She was more than gracious about it, and it turned out we were 
sitting next to each other and exchanged information during the flight.

Greetings:


I know I can count on good input from this list.

I am compiling information on how a blind person can feel comfortable in a 
roomful of people. I would like to hear on any strategies that are 
successful in getting acquainted in a room. This could also be a room of 
persons not previously known.

Thanks in advance for your help.
