The Networker #29: Navigating Networking in August – To Network or Not to Network? [VIDEO]
In this different format of The Networker, I bring you a video edition for the first time.
I discuss the challenges and opportunities of networking in the month of August.
Addressing the two common types of networkers during this time, with some advice and suggestions to consider if you find yourself in either camp.
The video ended up being 8 minutes long (longer than I would’ve liked), but here’s a tip if you’re strapped for time.
Choose 1.2x speed for a 7 minute video.
Choose 1.5x speed for a 5 min 29 secs video.
And you don’t lose the quality of content either 😃
Let’s dive in 👇
