Networking Tip: Be Interested, Not InterestingHere is a really good networking tip for you.Be interested, not interesting.Being interested puts that perspective on others.Being interesting puts pressure on yourself to be this cool kid in the party or the networking event, whatever it might be. So by being interested, that means that you're there. You're curious.You've got the right kind of questions to engage with people, to truly connect with people. And if you ever stuck in a networking event, one good question I always ask people is what brought you here?If it's someone that's hosting the event, how do you know the host?Those kind of questions to open up further conversation are great.So it's always good to ask open questions in a networking situation.And remember, be interested, not interesting.Let me know how you go.Send Prina a text to let her know how you'd change the workplace If you are seeking professional advice or would like to change your company culture through training, consulting, speaking and coaching, get in touch,  email me.Say hi!Sign up to my monthylish practical newsletter Get in touch with me, PrinaCheck  out my website⁠⁠⁠ - do a professional stalk...Follow me on LinkedInFind out what I am up to on Instagram⁠⁠⁠ Grab a copy of Make Work Meaningful and start creating your own legacy at work and leave me a review.
