How to network is something that all emerging leaders need to master (or re-master) as we may have lost practice over the past couple of years. As we move slowly back to more in-person events and conferences, I thought it timely to refresh your memory on networking etiquette tips and how to network in business.

I know that many of you are probably daunted by networking events. Common struggles I've helped people with are: How to start a conversation? How to shake hands? And should you eat at a networking event? I address all these questions and more in this video.

How to network is something that should be taught in college or professional development courses. But unfortunately, it isn't. What's sure is that if you spend some time watching this video to improve your networking skills and learn how to network with confidence, you'll put yourself ahead of your competition. And set yourself up for career and leadership success!

Watch this video now and learn how to network with poise and confidence!
