Have a story or inflection point to share? Tap here to message us — we’d love to hear it.

We build protective stories around our awkward experiences, convincing ourselves we're simply not cut out for schmoozing in crowded rooms or making small talk with strangers. These narratives serve a purpose – they shield us from discomfort and potential rejection.

What if we're missing out on valuable connections by staying safely on the sidelines? Through practical strategies, you can transform networking from a dreaded obligation into a valuable practice. The next time you feel that networking anxiety creeping in, remember: these are skills you already have, just applied in a new context. And who knows? You might just meet someone who changes the trajectory of your career.
