Are you tired of being glued to your phone or computer screen, especially during virtual meetings like Zoom? You're not alone.
Many people, including companies, are realizing the negative effects of too much screen time. So, what does this mean for us now? There will be more in-person events, conferences, and networking.
Even if you’re ready to meet more people in person for your career or business, this can be a lot for introverts or those who struggle with networking.
Sure extroverts invented networking ;), and you can do it too. But you just need a DIFFERENT strategy that doesn’t feel fake!
Don't worry! In this podcast episode, my guest Monica Schrock, an introvert who is my marketing strategist for myself and my clients and also a friend and client, will share tips on how to network effectively as an introvert.
If you're feeling unsure about small talk or how to approach networking, tune in for some helpful advice.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- Squashing misconceptions about introverts and networking
- How to find common ground and not make it so fake
- How to do self-promotion in a non-icky way
- The importance of supporting others rather than just taking so much for you
- How to prep before an event

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
