The Awkward Networker: Networking for People Who Hate Networking

Networking doesn’t have to feel awkward. Whether you’re meeting employers, alumni, or professionals for the first time, this interactive workshop will help you develop the confidence and skills to make meaningful connections.

During this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Start and sustain professional conversations.
• Overcome networking anxiety and build confidence.
• Introduce yourself with ease.
• Ask thoughtful questions and keep conversations flowing.
• Leave a positive, lasting impression.
• Follow up after networking events.

After the presentation, you’ll have the opportunity to put your new skills into practice during a guided networking session. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow LeBow students and, pending availability, connect with LeBow alumni mentors in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

This event is open to all LeBow students. It is especially valuable for students participating in the Dragon Network Mentor Program, those preparing for career fairs, internships, co-ops, job searches or anyone looking to strengthen their professional networking skills.

Come ready to learn, practice, and leave feeling more confident about networking!
