If the idea of walking into a room full of strangers makes you want to turn right back around, you’re not alone. Many of us feel unsure or awkward when it comes to networking—but what if the real issue isn’t you, but the story you’ve been telling yourself about what networking is supposed to be?
In this episode of Look for the Good, I sit down with Julie Brown, dynamic speaker and networking expert, who shares a refreshingly honest and fun take on how to make connecting with others feel natural, not nerve-wracking.
Even if you think you’re doing a decent job at networking, Julie offers some surprising shifts that can take your convos to the next level—and help you build real, lasting relationships.
In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why the story you tell yourself about networking might be holding you back
How to shift your mindset to make connecting feel easier and more authentic
Why introverts often make the best networkers (and how to lean into that)
A follow-up strategy that actually works—plus Julie’s “secret sentence” that gets people to respond
How to stop jumping into business mode too quickly and start building trust first

Whether you’re growing your business or just looking to connect more meaningfully, this convo is packed with gems that will shift how you show up and speak up.
Tune in now and start telling a better story about who you are—one that opens hearts and doors.
