Obviously that’s not what people mean to say but most of the time that’s what people hear. Then whoever you’re talking to will quickly turn to the next person and you lost an opportunity to build a relationship with them. However, if you think about it there’s usually a lot more to you than what you normally convey to people. Maybe you do kite surfing or rock climbing and suddenly become the coolest person in the room if it wasn’t for your day job that just got in the way.

A good intro makes a big difference I attended a networking event recently in a talent network where we sat in on two company presentation and gave the companies our input on how they could strengthen their social media profile related to some specific products. Afterwards, there was the dreaded networking session where you always feel that the other participants are having so much more interesting conversations. The truth is though that most people find this difficult and don’t get to have great conversations at networking events. This time, I decided to test my self-introduction in two ways.
