It might surprise you that I call myself an introvert. Yes, I speak on stages, run events and put myself out there. But where do I truly get my energy? It’s from solitude, thinking and deep one on one connections.
The big crowds? Nah, they're not really my thing. But despite this, I’ve successfully built a network that spans industries, countries and decades. How? Well, by doing it in my way.
There’s a myth that introverts can’t be brilliant networkers. But let me flip the script for you.
Introverts are actually phenomenal networkers. We don't waste time on the surface level stuff. We dig deep, listen and observe. And these are huge strengths, given that true networking is about forging meaningful, authentic relationships.
Today, we’ll explore the innate strengths that make introverts excel in the realm of building genuine relationships. I also share my own approach to networking and some practical ways you can build meaningful business connections as an introvert.
I challenge you: dismiss the pressure to conform to a louder networking style. Be deliberate, authentic and true to yourself. As you navigate the business world, focused on expanding your network, always remember that your quiet strengths are not weaknesses—they are your superpowers.
