“Rally behind the fact that [introverts] are not second-class citizens. Our path to success is just different, and when we embrace that and a system that is going to leverage our natural strengths, we can outperform in all these so-called extroverted arenas. They’re all introverted ones in my mind.” - Matthew Pollard

Networking is often seen as a skill that only extroverts can master, but today’s Finding Brave returning guest reveals not only how to network as an introvert, but what you can do to be truly amazing at it. His work proves that introversion doesn’t make you a second-class citizen, and he provides the specific tools and a way to systemize the networking process for introverts that is game changing.

Called “the real deal” by Forbes, Matthew Pollard is the bestselling author of The Introvert's Edge: How the Quiet and Shy Can Outsell Anyone, Amazon’s 8th Most-Sold Book of the Week and BookAuthority’s #2 “Best Introvert Book of All Time.”

Now adding a new book to his series,The Introvert’s Edge to Networking: Work the Room. Leverage Social Media. Develop Powerful Connections, Matthew is on a mission to confront the stigma that introverts can’t be successful at business, sales, networking, speaking, or any other so-called “extroverted” arena, and shares the tactics and strategies that have worked for him, his clients, and students in overcoming imagined barriers to success as an introvert.

I’ve known Matthew for years now, and what strikes me is how generous he is in sharing his knowledge and expertise with others. Whether you are an introvert, extrovert, or fall somewhere in between, I am 100% confident that something he discusses in this episode will help you to network and succeed.

Further, even extroverts can learn so much from Matthew (I know I do)!
