Power Networking For Shy People: How to Network Like a Pro - Paperback

by Rae A. Stonehouse (Author)

Over 40 % of North Americans describe themselves as being shy.

Would you?

• Do your hands start sweating and your legs shake with the thought of having to not only attend a business networking session but actually talk to people?
• Do you feel paralyzed by the fear of rejection when you are at a business networking event?
• Would you rather have a root canal than attend a business networking event?
• Would you rather send an e-mail to a business lead than meet them in person?

Well if any of these apply... you may be shy!

"Get over it!" That's what our extroverted friends would say. "Just do what we do!"
