This book started life as an observation my myself that after reading various guides on networking, even some written for introverts I was still not going. I realized I was failing way before I stepped in the room, in fact I was failing to actually get out the door. That first step was something that current books on the topic lacked, so I got curious about why I wasn't going and experimented with a variety of different techniques I'd learnt from my years coaching until I found a combination that worked.
It hasn't removed my reluctance to network completely, being a bit of an introvert, networking is likely never going to be something I look forward to but the techniques have allowed me to actually get out the door.
They've made the difference between going and not going and that's important because now I can reinforce my reasons to go with real examples of positive outcomes from past events.
โ
I was invited to share my experiences on networking with the Healthcare Businesswoman's Association, which I had some great feedback from, so decided to develop a full workshop on the topic and the techniques.
โ
This book was written as the companion guide to the workshop and details the 3 techniques I present in the workshop.
โ
Incidentally, the same techniques can be used on any upcoming event you're inwardly dreading... so it's well worth a read!
"I need more confidence."๏ปฟ
"My manager says I lack presence."
"I feel like a fake "

If you relate, you're not alone. But here's what most people don't realise: you're not lacking confidence, you’re not broken… something is just blocking your access to it.

๏ปฟ๏ปฟDecades of people-pleasing left me feeling like a chameleon who'd forgotten their true colours. I discovered that the simplest questions ๏ปฟheld the key to reconnecting with who I really was. Questions such as:
โ
What do I like?
What drains me?
What am I good at? ๏ปฟ
๏ปฟ
When I started working with clients, I saw the same pattern; experienced professionals convinced they needed "to be more and deliver more", when what they actually needed was to remember who they already were.
โ
This workbook guides you through five practical steps to:
-
Reconnect with who you are at your core
-
Map how confidence actually feels in your body
-
Identify what's blocking your access to confidence
-
Learn how to reconnect when it matters most
No performance. No pretending. Just you, grounded and authentic, in the moments that count.๏ปฟ
