Key Quotes;

 

Expanding Networks as an Introvert: "I think one of the things that I realise about myself quite often is that I'm very introverted. I find spending time with a lot of people really difficult, and I need a lot of recharge time afterwards. And so that can often mean that I don't build networks and connections as easily as other people because I just hate the idea of going to events."

Reinventing Post-Pandemic Connection: "It is time to get back on the wagon after the pandemic and go and sign up for something where you're going to meet new people and have new experiences and hear new perspectives."

Overcoming Sales Stigma: "Because if you're like me and you were the overachiever at school who everyone kind of bullied a bit for being keen and enthusiastic, then it's normal that you probably don't want to put your head above the parapet right now. But also, it's difficult because if you don't, you won't get what you want."

Navigating Economic Change: "There is a lot of opportunity out there for the people who are willing to do the work and take the action to make it happen. And selling to corporate is cool. It's going to finally be cool!"
