JobSeekers: Networking for Introverts - Speaking Up to Stand Out

You don't even need to be an introvert to feel anxious at the thought of networking. Do you wish you felt more comfortable meeting new people, but feel like networking is too quick and shallow for you to do it right? Do you feel misunderstood, coming off as unfriendly without meaning to? The Networking for Introverts webinar has been designed to address those specific concerns and more. You'll leave this session not only having a game plan for your future networking experiences but also feeling more confident in yourself and your ability to make meaningful connections—including using your voice to create speaking opportunities that build your community. In this webinar, Stephanie Thoma will walk you through what she has learned in putting herself out there—what works and what doesn't. We will discuss ways to: · Ease anxiety around networking events and group settings · Initiate and carry on conversations that lead to real relationships · Establish rapport that is authentic to you · Present yourself in a warm and friendly way—one-on-one and in front of groups · Position yourself as a thought leader in your field through intentional communication · And more! Whether you're working a room of strangers or stepping up to share an idea at a gathering, you'll learn how to network in ways that feel natural—and discover how speaking up can be your most powerful networking tool.
