Ever tell yourself "I'm just not good at networking"? You're not alone—and you might be more wrong than you think.

Learn the simple reframe that turns networking from schmoozing into experimenting.

What you'll learn

  • How to reframe networking from "selling yourself" to simply gathering research data
  • Why people who think they're bad at networking often have a natural advantage over smooth talkers
