Networking events are important when you’re looking to develop new business relationships. Unfortunately due to the current restrictions on social distancing our ‘normal’ methods of networking have temporarily stopped. However, that doesn’t mean to say that we’ll never ‘network’ in the same way again or that we can’t continue to broaden our network in other ways via social media, webinars, etc. Attending a networking event alone may feel intimidating, awkward, and uncomfortable, which is why I recommend some preparation.
Preparation will boost your confidence and when you feel confident you look confident.
