"I did not understand what networking was. I thought it was just, 'Here is my job, help me.'" – Courtney

CBQ: How much do you hate networking today?

 

Summary: Juan and Courtney break down why traditional networking felt like a "negative 34" and how getting clear on your talent, value, and curiosity can turn awkward events into intentional, energizing collaboration.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • "You are more excited to network because you are more clear on what you are talented at and where it is valued." – Juan
  • "People do not know how you could help them. You have to tell them what you do well." – Juan
  • "If you are not excited to be there, stop going. Go where you would actually get on a plane to meet people." – Juan
