    When you ask people if they like networking events they usually cringe and start telling you how much they hate them, how awkward they feel, how tricky it is to start conversations with all these strangers and how false it all seems. Truth is, I used to be one of those networking events haters myself.
    So what's changed? Why do I now enjoy going to events where I can meet new people who I might be able to collaborate with?
    Well, in this video you'll discover the 10 networking strategies that have made me start enjoying networking with people, even though I used to hate networking more than anyone.
    If you follow even just half of these strategies and use them at a networking event I am sure you'll start to enjoy it too.
    And shyness or a fear of starting conversations with people will become a thing of the past!
    And if you've liked the strategies in this video and you'd like to learn how to double your confidence around people in under 6 weeks then why not try out my 6 Week Double Your Confidence Program. It's free to try out for 7 days from this link: confidencetriggers.com/double-...

    - give give give
    - presence when person talking
    - listen more than you talk
    - think long vs short term
    - don’t not over commit
    - be honest
    - take action immediately
    - only going to thing that excite you

  • @MrP-tking

    go with a goal
    take the first step
    don't be negative
    connect and move
    give first and receive later
    connect others
    Mutual benefits and curiosity
    balance the conversation
    Keep moving
    enjoy the process

    first lesson : deal with your shyness it's either you take control or it takes control of your life surrendering to shyness means giving up on all the good opportunities and possibilities in your life ,and most importantly your mind is blocked and not able to produce productive and interesting ideas

    Great advice about not sticking with the conversation you're comfortable with at an event - get out of your comfort zone and do what it says on the tin - network. Plus, the giving mindset is absolutely essential to becoming a networking Yoda!

    You’ve earned my follow as a new subscriber.. thank you for your time and energy, I’m going to a massive networking event downtown Tampa at the Hilton Hotel and I’m fairly new at this whole networking thing. I’m not really an introvert so I got most skills you mentioned under control.. but I also gained some more skills through the tips you presented. I want to start my own TH-cam channel soon geared towards physical & mental health.. I’m not a formal professional in either subject but I’ve earned enough life experience points to be a professional in my own right.
    I look forward to more videos like this ..

  • @tunefoolery
    @tunefoolery 5 ปีที่แล้ว +67

    Great video. My question is, how do you make new conversations or new connections with people while you're walking around the room and so many of them are in little groups that don't seem open to new people coming in? It's hard to break into these groups without feeling like you're intruding on a private conversation.

    • @first20
      @first20 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is absolutely true. So this makes networking almost impossible. You can not even physically approach people and not speak about interrupting their conversation.

    • @pummyy
      @pummyy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You can stay close to the group abt 2m and let them know ur interest. Often someone will look at you or smile , use that opportunity to introduce urself. You can also use phrases like, I was listening to the conversation, interesting that you mentioned.....

    • @victoriaogunro4537
      @victoriaogunro4537 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You join the group as a listener. If people pause and react, then say “What you’re saying is very interesting, I hope you don’t mind me barging in.”

  • @shanecadden5303
    @shanecadden5303 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    At the risk of being perceived as being negative, we must realistically consider that in authentic dialogue people do bond over actual concerns of injustice (poverty, domestic violence, workplace bullying, etc. as these and other serious issues can certainly arise depending upon the professionals interacting with), which may sound negative to some, but are absolutely not the same thing.

    Good advice! Being able to engage with people in networking group can massively increase the exposure to your business, while also being able to let you use your skills, talents and connections to help others in the group as well.
    Also, the magic is in the follow-up and work done after the event, the meeting is just the starting point, not the destination.
