Free Zoom Mentor Morning: Networking online is scary

Join us Saturday, 8/15, 10-noon and we’ll share our networking secrets and how to deal with our fear of exposure and failure…

“It felt like a knife through my heart.”

This from a client of mine who’d just had four people unsubscribe from his email list.

Or this one from another client: “Every time she posts another success on Facebook, it feels like success is impossible for me. It’s as though her success is a direct result of my failure.” She goes on to tell me that she knows she’s being irrational. That she knows others’ successes don’t mean she’s a failure. But in her gut they do.

Networking was tough enough when, “Hi, my name is: Ted” was pasted on my chest. With Covid, we don’t have the little human cues of place and a shared coffee to build the emotional bridges we count on to ease us into a new connection.

Coffee dates with mentors and colleagues. Drinks with co-workers after work. The pleasure we get from those little human interactions… all gone. So here we are, with the fear of networking increased while the networking opportunities have been reduced.
