Practical networking scripts and approaches for people who find the whole idea of "networking" uncomfortable.
Networking has a reputation problem — it feels transactional and performative even to people who are otherwise socially comfortable. This guide reframes it as genuine relationship-building with a practical, low-pressure approach.
Inside: opening and closing a networking conversation without it feeling scripted, following up in a way that doesn't feel needy or forgettable, networking in low-pressure settings before high-stakes events, and building real professional relationships instead of just collecting contacts. A practical companion to Public Speaking and Your Career for anyone building visibility deliberately.
Includes quick-reference cheat sheets and tool/template checklists (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
