Download Networking for People Who Hate Networking: A Field Guide for Introverts, the Overwhelmed, and the Underconnected AudioBook Free
Devora Zack, an avowed introvert and an effective consultant who talks to thousands of people every year, discovered that most networking advice literature assume that to achieve success you have to become an extrovert. Or at least understand how to fake it. Not at all. There is one other way. This audiobook shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They're not shy or misanthropic. Alternatively, they tend to be reflective - they think before they speak. They concentrate intensely on a couple of things somewhat than broadly on lots of things. And they need time only to recharge. Because they've been told networking is all about small chat, big figures, and continuous contact, they suppose it's not for the coffee lover. Nonetheless it is! Zack politely examines and then smashes to little fragments the "dusty old guidelines" of standard networking advice. She shows the way the very traits that normally make people networking-averse can be harnessed to forge an approach that is just as effectual as more traditional techniques, if not better. And she is applicable it to all sorts of situations, not merely formal networking occasions. In the end, as she says, life is just one big networking opportunity - a concept listeners can now embrace.
