Networking can be scary and a little like a pressure pot. You want to make sure you are making the right first impressions but also you want to connect with like-minded individuals. I’ve talked before about your clothing being ‘conversationalists’ for your character and values. Have you ever complimented someone else as a way to instigate a conversation or a connection?
