Struggling with Networking? You're Not Alone.
Let’s be real – networking can feel cringy. The pressure to be perfect and the fear of rejection hold many people back. But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be awkward or salesy!
Here are the top takeaways from my recent conversation with Michelle about overcoming networking struggles:
-
Shift your mindset: Networking isn't about pushing sales. It's about having genuine conversations.
-
Prepare in advance: Know who you want to talk to, what you want to learn, and how you’ll talk about yourself.
-
Focus on curiosity: Approach networking with a mindset of learning, not just pitching.
-
Be authentic: People appreciate real, meaningful conversations – that’s how connections happen.
I’m embracing these principles myself in both my career and business growth. It’s about creating value first, not asking for favors.
