Tip: Article on Networking for Introverts
Why Networking is Essential for Your Businesses this article in The Harvard Business Review. You may want to follow a “calibrating” approach while preparing for networking (balancing the pros and cons of attending a networking event). Is this type of event suited for you? For example, would you feel more comfortable during a dinner, rather than a networking party? In which part of the day do you feel more energized - are you more of a morning or an evening person? What would you be doing if you weren’t at this event - what is the benefit of engaging in this activity? Moreover, since networking requires more cognitive effort from introverts, remember to balance your schedule on the days when you plan to go to a networking event. Try to have some me-time before and after networking to gather your energy.
