This week I published another article in my series about professional networking
In "Quietly Connect" I wanted to address the common misconception that networking is only for extroverts. I really believe that introverts bring valuable strengths to the table, like deep listening and thoughtful conversation, which can lead to more meaningful connections. I shared some practical tips, things that have worked for me and others, like focusing on quality over quantity, preparing conversation starters, and and leveraging online platforms.
I also emphasised the importance of being mindful of your energy levels and taking breaks when needed. My goal was to provide a guide that empowers introverts to build strong, authentic networks in a way that feels comfortable and natural. I hope you'll find it useful!
But now, on to this week’s events…
