#236 - An Effective, Non-Awkward Approach to Networking

Here's the mistake most people make when trying to land a job or find paying clients to grow a new business: they focus on their resume or website or socials, when the opportunities come through conversations! Resumes and websites are just easier, because it's heads-down work you can control. But networking feels hard because it involves unknowns and feels salesy! But that's mistake #2: thinking that you have to force a result from the conversation... Networking doesn’t have to be awkward or forced! In this video, I’ll share how you can network naturally while still being intentional to achieve your goals. Whether you're job-hunting or looking for clients to grow your business, it's all about starting simple conversations with people you already know, and letting the domino effect lead you to the right opportunity.  I’ll show you how to start, what to say, and how to ask for help—without making things uncomfortable. 0:00 Reworking Networking 1:54 Where to Start 2:44 What to Say 3:12 How to Ask 4:01 Templates & Resources to Help Reworking Networking Mini Course + Coaching: https://shop.greenhousecoaching.co/networking/
