Welcome to our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Join us at Brown Table Talk. We will be publishing every week to unpack our thoughts from our weekly Brown Table Talk Podcast- Entering Season 6! We are proud to be part of the LinkedIn Podcast Network! WOHOO!
Do you have social anxiety and dread networking events?
I do.
I worry that I won’t know what to do or what to say.
I worry that I will feel overwhelmed by the crowd and all of the people “working the room.”
I worry that no one will want to talk to me.
In this week’s Brown Table Talk episode, we unpack just this: Anyone Else Have Social Anxiety & Dread Networking Events? We talk about how we approach what events to go to and why. We discuss how to stop thinking of networking and start thinking about how we can build meaningful relationships. We also talk about how we calm our nerves before walking into one of those big overwhelming rooms!

Because change requires tough conversations. Tough conversations like these.? And we can’t change what we won’t discuss.

1 年Not just anxiety but a desire to feel like I'm immediately evaluating people for whether or not they're a "Waste of time" to connect with... always feels artificial and inauthentic. Thanks, Mita
