In this episode, we're unpacking how to establish better boundaries, how to take on projects that only align with your goals, and so much more.

29. The introvert's secret edge to networking

So this is a topic that I am just really excited to chat about. Anytime that I go to an event in my industry or just an educational workshop or even in conversations with a lot of my colleagues, the idea of: "Introverts and networking: how do the two go together?" Is always a topic of conversation and it's always such an interesting thing to me. And I hope that today's conversation, if you're an introvert, or maybe you're just trying to understand your introverted friend a little bit more, gives you a little bit of insight, a little bit of inspiration, and some practical tips that get you excited about the idea of conversations, people, and building connections that are meaningful, deep, and inspiring.01:36 - Intro04:11 - 4 Types of Introverts15:54 - Networking Tips19:27 - Tips for ConversationFind & Connect with Hannah:Website: www.hannahforsberg.comInstagram: @braveboundpodcast & @hannah.forsberg
