Networking is one of my most dreaded activities. Having to participate in and encourage small talk causes sweat to form on my brow.
However, I need clients and I need social interaction or else my husband will despise coming home to two whiny cats and a desperate housewife. π
For the past couple of weeks I have attended the Yas Mall Ladies’ Monday events where they alternate between mall walking and yoga. Yep, that’s right, this chica is mall walking! Ahahha!!!! π
Last week I had coffee afterwards with a new friend who also does not enjoy small talk. This week we agreed to make an effort to join the other group of ladies who also get coffee. It was a good thing too.
So, here I am getting myself out there. I’ve now got Monday mornings for mall walking or yoga. I will hopefully be joining a beginners golf group at the end of the month and a book club. Then, I have lined up to join the International Women’s Business group here as well.
Before you know it, I’ll be a networking pro! π
