Networking events and managing social portfolios is of great importance for many careers ranging from selling products, insurance, to getting investors to become aware of your start up. So it’s great to develop people skills in just about any scenario you find yourself in, especially if you suffer from shyness or are particularly introverted. Parker Lawson breaks down the walls to listeners and readers blocking themselves from being more outgoing by offering a ton of powerful hacks to connect. My favorite part was understanding that if you tap into someone else’s interests, passions, or hobbies, and you listen from a place of genuine curiosity, then you can really open up that connection you’re looking for quite easily.
