IΒ Was The Kid Who Didn't Want To Get Out Of The Car
I've spent around 40 years working in television and radio β presenting sport, hosting programs, interviewing thousands of people. If you'd watched me do those things, you'd have thought βthere's a confident bloke.β But put me in a room full of strangers at a business function, and I was a different person β wearing a mask, and exhausted by it.
Eventually I realised confidence isn't a personality. It's a skill. And in this free training, I'll show you the exact moves I use β the same ones I teach inside Unmasked β to walk into a room without the mask.
Networking Tips for Introverts That Don't Ask You to Fake It
Most networking advice is written by extroverts. "Work the room." "Just introduce yourself to everyone." If you're an introvert, that advice doesn't just feel uncomfortable, it feels like being asked to become someone else, and that's why business events leave you so drained.
After 40 years on TV and radio, I learned that networking confidence isn't a personality trait. It's a handful of simple moves you can rely on. Arrive early, while the room is quiet and groups haven't formed yet. Look for the person standing on their own rather than the loud group in the middle. Open with something about where you both are, not what you both do. Aim for one or two real conversations instead of twenty business cards. And know how you'll leave a conversation before you start it, so you never feel trapped.
Unmasked turns those networking tips for introverts into short, practical lessons you can use at your very next event, so you can walk in knowing exactly what to do without pretending to be someone you're not.
