It’s another “Ask Akua” episode on the Open Door Conversations podcast! In this episode, Akua answers two great questions about networking and gives helpful strategies for business leaders, managers, and founders to help you build your important relationships in person and online.

To be successful in business, one of the most important things to learn is relationship building. But as a reluctant networker herself, Akua knows what it’s like to have a bit of anxiety around the topic. Whether you do most of your networking online or need some tips on how not to be a wallflower at your next in-person business networking event, this episode is for you.

For example, inviting a friend or colleague to attend an in-person networking function with you is a great way to compound your reach and ease anxiety, and following up with those who engage with your online content can create useful connections and genuine relationships. Akua will go into detail about these and several other networking strategies so you can forge ahead with confidence.
