How to Let Other People Network Like Humans Too
I have a love/hate relationship with being referred to as "The Networking Queen."
This phrase often conjures up images of someone super confident, outgoing and polished. She's out every night and you see her at every event, working the room, making everyone feel like they are her best friend. On social media, it seems like everyone knows her AND loves her.
So years ago, when I attended a business conference and heard one woman saying I was "not at all what she expected," it changed really changed my understanding of authenticity in networking.
In this episode, I'll share that story and some gentle reminders about the imporance of allowing other people to be human too. Showing grace and empathy and remembering that your first impression may not always be the truth can go a long way in building your network with the right people.
