Survey on Networking
If the idea of attending a networking event fills you with dread and unease, I want to hear from you! Through my coaching work, I've encountered many people who dislike traditional networking and feel it's inauthentic, slimy, and/or stressful. And yet they feel they're missing out on the benefits of networking. I believe there are ways to network that play to your strengths (and not necessarily follow conventional wisdom). I'm planning to put together some content on this topic, but need your input first! Thanks for completing this quick survey.
