Networking is an art form. It takes years of practice and deep self-awareness to network authentically and effectively. Until then, networking can be an awkward and challenging journey. Networking burnout is common. An empowered relationship with networking expands possibilities for our lives that far outweigh any time, money, or energy used along the way. How well are we connecting with others? Where’s the gap in expectation and understanding? How am I taking responsibility for the gap? Am I treating networking as a transactional encounter? In this episode, we discuss engaging in networking sustainably and in a balanced way.
