In our rapidly-evolving industry, it's clear at this point things are never returning to the pre-2023 version of "normal." There are way too many talented craftspeople looking for work and not enough jobs to go around. Yes, having a strong network has always been important, but now the only way to sustainably make a living is having a robust and active network of peers, mentors, and advocates who ensure you are part of the conversation. Which means the only way to survive is "putting yourself out there!" Right???
I promise networking doesn't have to suck - especially if you're introverted. In fact, introverts have a distinct advantage in the networking game, they just don't know how to leverage this advantage in the digital age. And the best part is, networking can be enjoyable, rewarding, and most importantly - algorithm-free.
In this live seminar led by Zack Arnold, ACE you will learn the following:
- How to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there or bothering busy people
- The mindset shifts necessary to get the most out of networking (without it destroying your soul)
- The five different approaches to building your network based on your needs
- How to provide genuine value to others that makes them excited to help you
- How to ask better questions so you don't have the same boring conversations (or get the same bland career advice)
