KEY TAKEAWAYS
Contrary to the stereotype that introverts dislike networking, they can excel in this area due to their strong listening skills and ability to follow up, making authentic connections.
Introversion is about where one derives energy—introverts recharge through solitude, while extroverts gain energy from social interactions. This distinction is crucial for fostering better communication and collaboration in teams.
For introverts, preparing for networking events by researching attendees can alleviate anxiety and facilitate meaningful conversations. This proactive approach can lead to more successful networking experiences.
Taking risks and stepping out of comfort zones can build confidence. Engaging in new experiences, even if uncomfortable, can enhance personal growth and relevancy in both personal and professional contexts.
BEST MOMENTS
"Good networking is about listening and following up, and introverts are very good at both of those skills."
"Introverts often have better developed EQ because they notice things that extroverts won't notice."
"Bravery is a muscle. The more you use it, the better you get."
Helen Nicholson: "If you approach your network and your relationships giving generously, you're going to be happy and I think you're going to be successful."
