Speaking of Impact

Networking is Scary!

We meet people in different ways than we used.  Sometimes, it can be overwhelming.  Technology allows us to connect with an endless amount of people in a short period of time.  This can be very productive if we are focused.  However, if you are not, it can be counterproductive and downright overwhelming.

HR Heidi Torres is a human resources professional with expertise in helping people make the connections they need to advance their career.  Heidi loves to networking although she’s a self-proclaimed introvert.  How is that possible? There’s a difference between enjoying attention and being curious about others.  This episode is a masterclass on how to be more comfortable in public settings and how to use modern networking to your advantage.
