How to Become a Business Networking Pro
with Teresa Thomas
About This Podcast Episode:
Have you ever felt like a wallflower at a networking event, awkwardly clutching your business card and wondering how to make the first move? My guest in this episode understands. Teresa Thomas is a connector by nature, but she hasn’t always been one. Teresa shares her transformation from shy introvert to the networking guru she is today.
In our conversation, Teresa divulges her top strategies for intentional networking that have reshaped not just her career but her entire approach to building relationships. She peels back the layers to reveal how authenticity and alignment with your goals can lead to profound personal and professional growth.
We’ll talk about…
- How to find your networking sweet spot, whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between.
- How to move beyond the surface-level encounters of networking and discuss the impact of repeated, meaningful interactions.
- The art of follow-up and how it’s often the make-or-break of forging lasting connections.
- The concept of ‘buddy networking,’ a game-changer for those looking to amplify their presence at any event.
We’ll also chat a bit about Teresa’s latest venture, called “50 Fun Things”, and how a germ of an idea has turned into a movement.
If you’re ready to revolutionize your networking and infuse more fun into your life, this episode is your invitation to start!
