Identify your networking style and leverage it effectively
What you'll be able to do
•Identify your natural networking style, whether you connect best one-on-one, in groups, online, or through introductions
•Play to your strengths instead of forcing an extroverted approach that doesn't fit you
•Recognize other people's networking styles and adjust how you approach them
•Choose networking settings and methods that match how you actually build rapport
Who it's for
Professionals who find generic networking advice draining or fake, particularly introverts and anyone who has been told to 'just work the room' and hated it. A good fit for people early in building a professional network who want an approach that suits them.
What changes on the job
•Networking that feels sustainable because it matches your temperament
•More genuine connections from fewer, better-fit interactions
•Less avoidance of networking because you're no longer forcing a style that isn't yours

How is this different from the other networking lessons?
This one is about self-awareness: identifying your style before you network. 'Tips for Networking' covers tactics, and 'Networking' focuses on building and maintaining relationships over time.
I'm an introvert. Is networking even for me?
Yes, and this lesson is built partly for that. It helps you find approaches that work with your temperament rather than against it.
How long is it?
About 18 minutes, self-paced, part of the professional track.
