TAKING THE WORK OUT OF NETWORKING - KAREN WICKR...

The former Google executive  editorial director of Twitter and self-described introvert offers
networking advice for anyone who has ever cancelled a coffee date due to social anxiety-about
how to nurture a vibrant circle of reliable contacts without leaving your comfort zone.
Networking has garnered a reputation as a sort of necessary evil in the modern business world.
Some do relish the opportunity to boldly work the room  introduce themselves to strangers  and
find common career ground-but for many others  the experience is often awkward  or even
terrifying. The common networking advice for introverts are variations on the theme of
overcoming or fixing their quiet tendencies. But Karen Wickre is a self-described introvert who
has worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years. She shows you to embrace your true nature to create
sustainable connections that can be called upon for you to get-and give-career assistance 
advice  introductions  and lasting connections. Karen's embrace your quiet side approach is for
anyone who finds themselves shying away from traditional networking activities  or for those
who would rather be curled up with a good book on a Friday night than out at a party. For
example  if you're anxious about that big professional mixer full of people you don't know  she
advises you to consider skipping it (many of these are not productive)  and instead set up an
intimate  one-on-one coffee date. She shows how to truly make the most out of social media to
sustain what she calls the loose touch habit to build your own brain trust to last a lifetime.
With compelling arguments and creative strategies  this new way to network is perfect not only
for introverts  but for anyone who wants for a less conventional approach to get ahead in
today's job market.
