1 Choose quality over quantity

You don't have to meet everyone at a team building event or activity. Focus on finding a few people who share your interests, goals, or values, and engage them in meaningful conversations. Ask open-ended questions, listen actively, and show genuine curiosity. You can also use your existing contacts to introduce you to new people or join a group that has a common purpose or project.

Rather than forcing yourself to be a social butterfly and ending up tormenting yourself, choose quality interactions. Even if you network with less people, if it's of good quality, it's worth it.

Introverts can effectively network on team building by choosing quality over quantity. This way you can focus on the people you can network with who are similar to you as an introvert. Having a lot of people in your network that don’t understand you can be counterproductive.

Creative & Analytical Self-starter; independently generate new concepts. I see connections quickly & provide support to others when I can do so effectively.

I agree. I am not totally introverted; sort of a mix between introverted & extroverted....That said, I am VERY choosey about who I spend time with as I am working on a self-assigned project for the last 7 years. Its hard to explain to someone not scientific. However many of my close friends have Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes.

2 Prepare and practice

Before you attend a team building event or activity, do some research on the people you want to meet or the topics you want to discuss. You can use social media, websites, or newsletters to learn more about their background, achievements, or challenges. This will help you to prepare some icebreakers, compliments, or insights that can spark a conversation. You can also practice your self-introduction, elevator pitch, or storytelling skills with a friend or a colleague to boost your confidence.

Monitor your own energy. Check in with yourself and make discerning choices about when and how you want to interact. If you find yourself really wanting to jump in, do it when that urge is there. Know that we want to hear from you. As a facilitator, I know that it's up to each individual to decide how they want to contribute. If it's important to hear from everyone, it's my job to create the environment to make that more comfortable and motivating for everyone.

3 Leverage your strengths

As an introvert, you have some unique advantages that can help you network effectively in team building. You are likely to be observant, analytical, and creative, which means you can offer valuable insights, feedback, or solutions to your team members. You are also likely to be empathetic, respectful, and loyal, which means you can build rapport, trust, and long-term relationships with your team members. Use these strengths to showcase your value and contribution to the team.

4 Follow up and follow through

Networking is not a one-time event, but a continuous process of building and maintaining relationships. After you meet someone at a team building event or activity, make sure you follow up with them within a few days. You can send them an email, a message, or a note to thank them for their time, express your interest in staying in touch, or share some relevant information or resources. You can also follow through on any promises, commitments, or referrals you made during the conversation. This will show that you are reliable, professional, and interested in the relationship.

5 Take care of yourself

Networking can be draining for introverts, so it is important to take care of yourself and respect your limits. You don't have to attend every team building event or activity, or stay for the entire duration. You can choose the ones that are most relevant, beneficial, or enjoyable for you, and leave when you feel comfortable. You can also take breaks, find a quiet spot, or use some relaxation techniques to recharge your energy and mood. Remember that networking is not a competition, but a way of connecting with others and enhancing your team building skills.

For introverts, networking can be energy-consuming. Therefore, self-care is crucial. First, ensure you have quiet time to recharge. Second, engage in activities that you love to restore your energy. Third, maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. Fourth, mindfulness or meditation can be useful for managing stress and maintaining mental balance. Lastly, set boundaries and learn to say 'no' when needed. By doing these things, you can uphold your well-being while effectively networking.
