Networking can be extra challenging for introverts, writes Claire Parsons in The Introvert Lawyer’s Guide to Networking. It’s a critical part of professional life, however, and even the most introverted lawyer must find a way to build and nurture their network. Thankfully, their style doesn’t have to look like that of their peers:
Networking often gets conflated with attending networking events, like happy hours, but that is not the only way to do it. […] In fact, you don’t even have to leave your office to expand and tend to your network. One of my favorite things to do is to write notes to friends and contacts. This may seem small but can have huge benefits.
But you don’t have to be an introvert to benefit from Parsons’ tips: anyone who follows her advice can improve their networking skills. Read the post. You’ll be glad you did.
