"Confidence comes not from extroversion, but from passion and dedication." This quote from Simon Sinek changed the way I, a huge introvert, looked at building relationships and I have summarized my learnings here in this video: the introvert's guide to networking (for business).
We introverts can play to our natural strengths and make great relationships right from behind our computer screen! By consistently putting in the effort and leaving thoughtful comments on LinkedIn posts, we are able to incrementally build meaningful relationships with professionals and this is a great way to network for introverts who might not feel comfortable going to many inperson events.
Since we also lose energy from being around others, we also want to be very purposeful regarding who we choose to network with. To do this we need to first prioritize those who have direct influence over the end goal we're trying to achieve (i.e. decision makers) and chat with them on our own terms (whatever is comfortable for us).
Finally, we don't have to make drastic changes to how we currently do things to network well. Consistency is key so as long as we adhere to a schedule (one thoughtful comment a week for example), we will slowly but surely grow and build successful professional networks!
Take it from me that as your network grows, so will your confidence, leading to an endless positive cycle
