Safe Networking Tips

It’s always a great idea to put safety first whenever you meet someone you don’t know in person for the first time. Practicing the following common-sense precautions will help ensure a positive experience when you connect with your mentor or mentee through Ten Thousand Coffees:

• Meet in a well-lit public place, such as a coffee shop or on one of our campuses.
• Don’t give out personal information over the Internet, including your home address or banking information (e.g. social insurance number, bank account number).
• Tell a colleague, friend or family member the details of your meeting beforehand: who you’re meeting, when and where the meeting will take place, and what time you expect to return.
• Stick to well-lit areas and main roads when navigating to and from your meeting.
• Carry a mobile phone with you in case of emergencies.
