Overcoming networking anxiety

Not everyone walks into a room full of strangers feeling excited to meet new people, confident in making an impact. Take it from this introvert – it can be anxiety-inducing and intimidating. However, with a few simple actions, you can build your confidence and become one of the most engaging people in the room.

Tips for effective networking

Speak quickly and upbeat: Maintain a lively and positive tone.

Show your emotions: Express genuine feelings to connect with others.

Be authentically curious: Approach every conversation with a growth mindset, knowing there’s always something to learn.

Avoid polarizing topics: Steer clear of divisive subjects to keep the conversation pleasant.

Ask open-ended questions: Focused on questions that encourage the other person to share more about themselves.

Engaging conversation starters:

What’s your story?

What makes you smile when you get up in the morning?

What is that one book that has influenced you the most?

What absolutely excites you right now?

What’s the most important thing I should know about you?

These questions, and others like them, are engaging and will leave a positive impression on those you speak with. Try one out this week and note how it goes. You and the person you spoke with will likely end the conversation with smiles on your faces.

Thanks for stopping by.  We hope you found at least one little nugget you are taking away with you.  What will you do to bring it into full living color?
