Networking can feel like an anxiety-inducing performance, but what if it didn’t have to? In this episode of Memorable Public Speaking, we dive into a real conversation with a client who struggles with overthinking, self-doubt, and the fear of making a bad impression while networking.

Their words: “I’m usually kind of thinking like, what do I say? What do I say? What do I say?” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. But what if networking wasn’t about saying the perfect thing?

I’ll share simple mindset shifts and strategies that make networking feel more natural, including:
💬 How to break the ice without pressure
💡 Why a quick sip of water can reset your confidence
👂 The power of listening instead of planning your next line
🎭 The surprising truth that there’s no such thing as failure in networking

If networking stresses you out, this episode will help you approach it with confidence and ease, and watch as you get more of the results you want!
