Hello everyone
My name is Ziying Zhou, an ex banker turned international etiquette and peak performance coach.
Networking is crucial in both business and social life, yet it often feels like a nightmare for many people. If any of the following thoughts resonate with you, you're in the right place. I used to feel the same way!
“I am so scared of networking.”
“I have no idea what to say or do at networking events.”
“Where do I even start?”
“I’m so terrified, I’d rather stay with people I know.”
In today’s video, I share 10 simple and effective tips to help you become a networking pro. These lessons come from years of practice and experience in the years of my banking days and also now as an entrepreneur. I hope you find them valuable, start using them right away and practice until they become second nature!
I hope this video inspires you to put yourself out there more and meet new people. You never know—one person could completely change your life, and we need to be ready for those opportunities when they arise.
