What do you think of when you hear the word “networking”? Do you picture yourself in a room full of professionals feeling nervous to approach one of them and make an introduction? Or does networking to you mean spending hours online researching, making comments on social media, and sending emails? Whether in person or online, we can all agree that networking is an absolute key part of finding and landing opportunities that lead to success. If you’ve ever heard the phrase, “It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know,” then you get it! You might know someone who seems so gifted, almost lucky, when it comes to networking and making connections. Like every single time they reach out to someone it always results in a response that turns into this amazing relationship. If you’ve ever felt envious of people like this and wondered, “How in the heck do they do that?” then give today’s episode a listen and find out!

Joining us today to share her expertise is publicist and owner of Kaye Publicity Inc., Dana Kaye. Over the years Dana has been able to take what she has learned as a freelance writer, book critic, and brand manager for authors and apply it when teaching and coaching entrepreneurs. As you will hear her mention in this episode, she and many of her clients are what she calls “book people,” and therefore she is no stranger to the struggles of an introvert! Luckily, being an introvert doesn’t have to hold you back from absolutely killing it when it comes to networking. If that’s something you’re currently battling with, then today’s episode will definitely resonate with you!
