Quotables:
“I think it’s all about finding the right network and the right people, because there are so many different types of networks.”
“My top tip to go into a [networking event] like that is that I always arrive early for everything.”
“I never focus on working the room because that to me is traumatic. I just focus on having nice conversation with three or four people and I’m happy.”
“Just look for one person to start a conversation with and then you end up branching off and meeting more.”
“When networking you can add in some personal touches. It doesn’t have to be all about what you do.”
