I am definitely a reluctant networker and am much happier behind the keyboard than shaking hands in person. This guide gave me so really needed advice, practical tips to use, and a shot of encouragement.I like how the author focuses on reprogramming your old beliefs in yourself as shy to transform your confidence going forward. I know I'm going to read the "Preparation" tips often, as he helped me see I neglect this area while using up energy being nervous instead. There is also specifically useful info about optimizing your networking abilities at and after networking events, and well as general coaching on networking.This is a straight-talking guide that's a good mix of supportive thinking, encouragement, and the confidence boosts that come when you know you are as knowledgeable about a topic as you can be. I'd recommend this book to anyone who feels less that confident about their ability to network their way to success or who wants a confidence-boost refresher on the power of networking.
