Get out of your own networking way

“I don’t know what to say!” We hear that all the time. Having that mindset certainly can get in the way of networking success, but how can you get around it. I mean, if you aren’t talking then it isn’t a conversation, right? Join introverts Greg and Debby Peters as they talk about the challenges of being your authentic self and still being successful in a networking venue.

Listener Asandi Connor offered the question that sparked the discussion.
