If the thought of networking makes you want to curl up on the couch and forget it even exists—trust me, I get it. Same, friend, same.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to drain your energy or be the loudest in the room to build real, solid connections.
In this episode, Tamika Carlton is joined by Audrey Kwan—Founder of Agency Together, Strategist, and Coach to Seven-Figure Agency Owners, to break down how introverts can thrive in relationship-building without forced small talk, exhausting social events, or pretending to be someone they’re not.
Learn how to make natural, meaningful connections at business events without feeling out of place.
Audrey shares her personal insights on how introverts can leverage their strengths to create meaningful relationships personally and professionally.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a career-driven introvert, or just someone who wants to connect on a deeper level without the awkwardness, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
1. How to connect authentically without draining your energy
2. Why introverts make some of the BEST networkers (seriously!)
3. Practical tips to build relationships that actually matter—without forcing it
Spoiler: You don’t need to fake being an extrovert to succeed. You just need the right approach.
