Networking sounds vague and time-consuming. Who should I network with? How will I know if I have done enough? What is networking anyway? If you can relate, then this episode is made for you.

This is the first in a three part series on Networking for Introverts. We’re starting our series with systems because networking can feel endless. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s absolutely possible to operate with more clarity around who, how and when to network and to give yourself a structure that suits your goals. In this episode, we’ll look at a few actual tools you can use for networking as well as key strategies you can employ in developing your network, all with introverts top of mind!

I’m excited to hear how this series informs your approach to networking. Let me know your favorite tip in the comments!

We’ll cover:
+ Introvert advantages when building business relationships
+ Tools you can use to learn and hone your networking
+ Strategies for finding more value in your connections
+ Energy saving ways to navigate relationships
