Be interested, not interesting.𝐈𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.Most high performers approach networking like a performance.Say something clever. Be impressive. Stand out.But being interesting takes energy. It puts pressure on you.And it often keeps things at the surface.There's a better way: Be interested instead.Ask thoughtful questions. Listen deeply.Let others do what they love most - talk about themselves.It's lighter. It's more human.And it builds real trust. The kind that leads to long-term relationships, not short-term transactions.🎙️ This shift from performing to connecting is exactly what Ryan Lim, and I dive into in the latest How to Live episode. Ryan's the bestselling author of The Business of Networking, No 1 on Strait Times, and he shares why introverts often make the best networkers, and why curiosity is your greatest tool.Buy Ryan's Book here - https://singapore.kinokuniya.com/bw/9789819423323Get the first chapter free - https://bit.ly/BizNetworkChp1Shownoteshttps://howtolive.life/episode/096-networking-that-actually-feels-good-with-ryan-limFor Folks Affected by Restructuring4 Week Career Transition Program. https://www.sharadlal.net/thrivethroughtransition How to Live NewsletterGo deeper with articles every 2-3 weeks.
