Push yourself out of your comfort zone
Stepping out of your comfort zone is a crucial aspect of networking. However, this can be challenging for some people, as networking events and social situations can be draining and uncomfortable.
Here are some tips for you to step out of your comfort zone and begin networking:
- Start small- You don't have to dive headfirst into networking events or social situations. Start by connecting with people online or through email or by attending smaller intimate events where you feel more comfortable.
- Set goals- Setting goals for your networking activities can help you stay focused and motivated. For example, you could set a goal of meeting one new person at each networking event or sending a certain number of follow-up emails each week.
- Take breaks- Take breaks when you need them, and don't be afraid to step away and recharge if you start to feel overwhelmed.
- Find common ground- Look for common interests or experiences that you share with others in your network to establish a common ground.
