Painless Networking
I was recently interviewed for an article titled “Conquer Your Networking Fears,” for the Project Management Institute. Here’s how it begins: “Have you ever found yourself standing alone at a networking event, watching other project professionals mixing and mingling? You know you should introduce yourself and find new connections — but you just can’t muster the courage.” Can you relate? If you’re an introvert, take your time and enjoy the connections—one at a time and at your own pace. For more about building your network as an introvert, see “Networking 101 for Introverts,” a story by one of my fellow Psychology Today bloggers, Katharine Brooks, Ed.D. Also check out this excerpt about networking from my book, Self-Promotion for Introverts®.
