Increasing numbers of people recognise the important role networking plays in building businesses or growing a career. Yet introverts often feel at a disadvantage. Uncomfortable with attending big events, putting themselves at the centre of everyone's attention or standing out from the crowd, many introverts prefer to get on with their job and expect to get noticed.

Does it need to be this way?  Do introverts need to network and if so, how can they do so comfortably?

Ivan and Andy are joined by the Champion of Introverts, Jennifer B Kahnweiler Ph.D. CSP author of Quiet Influence, The Introverted Leader and the upcoming, The Genius of Opposites (Aug. 2015) to explore these and other questions about how introverts can network with confidence.

In the last edition of The Global Networking Show in 2014, Andy Lopata and Dr. Ivan Misner are joined by Tim Houston, the author of The World's Worst Networker. 

Andy, Ivan and Tim will share some light-hearted stories of networking faux pas they've experienced and invite you to share yours too.

Wondering how to grow your network but don’t know where to start?

 

Feeling daunted about stepping into a room full of strangers but don’t know what to say?

 

Worried about putting yourself out there but don’t know how to step outside your comfort zone?

 

In an increasingly uncertain, ambiguous and complex world, it is easy to succumb to self-doubt, to become anxious and fear risk-taking. The pressure to know, to control, to be on top of our game holds a strong grip on us

Join us for an inspiring and intriguing conversation with Steven D’Souza and Diana Renner, the authors of ‘Not Knowing - the art of turning uncertainty into opportunity’ on 26 November at 8 pm GMT

The book re-frames the concept of Not Knowing, from being in a fearful place of weakness and ignorance, moving to something we must engage with personally. It introduces us to a new paradigm, where Not Knowing becomes an exciting opportunity - we are no longer limited by what we already know and our habitual reactions to things that life throws at us, so that deeper knowing can emerge.

How does Not Knowing help us network and engage with others more effectively? Join the conversation and find out. Otherwise, you'll never know!

Are you a nervous networker? Do you feel out of your comfort zone at a networking event, preferring to make friends on a more intimate, less formal basis?

Many people struggle with the thought of networking at events. Dr. Ivan Misner and Andy Lopata are joined by a networking introvert, Charlie Lawson, who has just published The Unnatural Networker’.. 

On this show, Ivan, Andy and Charlie discuss how more introverted networks can play to their strengths, explore their options and offer some simple tips to overcome that fear of walking into a room full of strangers.

Can that really be true?  If you have a powerful personal network, can you really be a healthier person?  Dr. Ivan Misner and Andy Lopata are joined by Ocean Robbins and Celynn Erasmus to learn the truth about this fairly bold statement.
