Good morning! :) Its a little long, but it will help you meet new friends.... 7 Networking Tips for Introverts, Extroverts, and the Socially Awkward. 1.) Manage your expectations.... If youre attending some kind of networking event, you dont have to put pressure on yourself to meet a lot of people. 2.) Plan some ice-breakers ahead of time.... Typical go-to questions always revolve around food and travel, because everybody loves to eat and most everybody loves to travel. 3.) Set a time limit.... Tell yourself youll only hang out for an hour, or some other chunk of time youre comfortable with. 4.) Ask for an introduction.... When you ask someone to introduce you, it holds a lot more weight versus going up to someone and introducing yourself, because the person youre being introduced to sees you in a different light if somebody of importance or someone in authority is bringing you up to them. 5.) Practice empathetic listening.... The intent to understand and also to establish a connection with that person, because people tend to remember people they have a connection with. 6.) Share personal stories.... Your personal stories are what make you interesting and memorable. 7.) Practice every day.... The more you network, the easier it gets, but you have to keep doing it.
