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

If you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/call
