Networking for People Who Hate Networking
by Devora Zack
Zack argues that introverts should not network like extroverts; they should pause, process and pace, go deep with a few people rather than wide with many, and use their listening strengths. It is short, practical and funny, with specific tactics for events, follow-up and online.
Read it if…
you dread networking events and have been told to just put yourself out there.
Skip it if…
you are an extrovert who enjoys the room.
Three things you will actually use
- Depth over breadth; a few real connections.
- Prepare questions; listening is your edge.
- Follow up thoughtfully; it is where introverts win.
Do this first
At your next event, set a goal of two real conversations instead of twenty cards.
Our verdict
Practical and reassuring.
