Networking can help you to get more referrals and more business success. But how do you network without feeling awkward, and make real and natural connections? Here’s how.

My special guest today is a publicity strategist, who is here to teach us that networking doesn’t have to be painful and awkward.

If you’ve got a networking event coming up on your calendar and you’re feeling a bit ‘UGH’ towards attending, cozy on up. This episode is for you.

Tara Bradford simplifies how to get more referrals through networking.

Tara is showing us a different approach that’s centered around generosity. She's going to flip everything you think you know about networking, on its head.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why we struggle to confidently talk about ourselves at networking events. And how to flip the spotlight on others instead
• Her 4-step method to better networking:

• Know your opening question

• Listen with intentionality

• Become a mirror

• Guide them to what you want them to do next

Tara talks us through the ideal way you can spark more meaningful conversations at networking events. She uses a wedding planner as a case study to explain it all.

No matter if you’re an introvert like Tara, or an extrovert like me, the tips she shares in today’s conversation are super valuable. Try them out at the next networking event you attend this month!

It’s time to simplify.
