Mindful Networking & Socializing

Mindful Networking & Socializing

On a scale of one to ten, how anxious do you get before a networking event?


We know a solid network is essential for a successful career and life. However, meetings, networking situations, and other gatherings can trigger social anxiety.


Who should you talk to, and what should you say? What should you avoid asking? What about afterward? Should you make the first move?


In this episode, I'm joined by the Founder and CEO of Zen Rabbit, Lori Saitz. Lori is a Purposeful Transformation Guide, an award-winning writer, a speaker, and a nationally recognized expert in using gratitude and meditation to manifest goals faster. She is also the Host of the "FINE is a 4-Letter Word" podcast and an Executive and Life Coach.


We had a fantastic conversation about how to prepare mindfully, how to engage in meaningful ways, what to look for during an event or meeting, and the best ways to follow up and stay connected to the people we met. Lori suggested interesting questions to ask people, tips and advice on who we should approach and how, and what kinds of things we should avoid. We also go through the importance of investing in follow-up, the importance of networking in the corporate world, and more.


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • How you can prepare mindfully for a networking event (6:06)
  • Networking events aren't mandatory. Choose wisely (9:12)
  • The importance of asking better questions (12:37)

  • You are not alone; every person in the room is there for the same reason (25:38)
