Do you dread networking? Do you look for any excuse to delay going to the big reception and then clump together with people you already know when you get there?
You are not alone, but you can rise above your fear and dread. The truth is that your success at an industry event hinges on your ability to talk with people, learn about them and make an impression so they will remember you.
I’ve created a series of videos to help you get more comfortable with networking. When you know how to introduce yourself and speak about yourself, it gets easier to start conversations. And when you’re focused on engaging and listening, you will draw others out and help them feel more comfortable too.
