You are the Talkative Employee

Shared Background

ING is holding a week-long offsite in Manila, which corresponds with a two-day APAC finance and tech conference at the Manila Convention Center. ING invited senior leaders and various other employees from around the globe.
One of the events ING arranged is an afternoon-long event at a private membership club. Over 200 ING employees will be at this event for an evening of dinner, drinks, bowling, and a live jazz band. 

It’s an opportunity for ING employees to mingle, get to know others from around the globe, rub shoulders with senior leaders, and have fun in a lively atmosphere.

Talkative colleague: Private information

For this role-play, you are a talkative employee. You like talking in business meetings, to other employees in the office, and even to large groups during presentations. You enjoy networking events and you’re glad ING has put together this evening of activities. 

You are about to have a conversation with another ING employee that you’ve never met. You see them having a drink alone as they watch the jazz band play, so you want to strike up a conversation.

In this conversation, you are free to talk about yourself as little or as much as you want. Use a mix of your real-world attributes & interests while role-playing a talkative, assertive person. You are free to discuss and ask your conversation partner about:

-ING business
-general business topics and news
-personal interests, hobbies, and life
