How to approach networking event for introverts?
Networking can be very daunting. Especially for introverts.
So what can you do to make it less painful.
1. Be more intentional.
Be clear about who do you want to meet at that event. Set a target of 1-2 people. Don’t go to the event with no plan because it can get overwhelming very fast when you are surrounded by so many people. Serabut kepala.
2. Be aware of your energy level.

3. Be happy with whatever the outcome is.
Even with the best of plan, sometimes things just doesn’t work out. So don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t manage to talk or network with your targets. There will always be another chance. Be kind to yourself. Chill je.
So there you go 3 tips from me for the introverts out there on how to approach networking.
