Can't find an answer to your question?
I get these questions a lot. Here are answers to help you increase confidence at business, social, and networking events:
You’re not alone. A 2022 study by Mentimer found that 62% of professionals worry about engaging in conversation. Even 70% of C-Level executives, like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, are introverts. Having a plan for events is crucial to increase confidence in your professional and personal life.
Absolutely! Introverts are great listeners, which helps in gathering valuable information. According to the Forbes Technology Council, introverts often remain calm under pressure and build deeper connections. Understanding this the first step for you to increase confidence at business, social, and networking events.
Yes, they do. Novo Resumé states that 70% of job vacancies aren’t posted online. In-person networking helps you increase confidence since many introverts already possess important skills such as the ability to read body language and expressions, a high level of emotional intelligence, and strong empathy skills.
Extroverts can sometimes dominate conversations, missing out on valuable information. Event Mindset can help you steer conversations to increase confidence at events, share and gain knowledge and maximize your potential.
Data shows that not all employees act professionally at events. A 2022 survey by Price4Limo found that 17% of employees flirted with colleagues, and 14% kissed a colleague at work events. This can lead to costly turnover, as replacing an employee can cost ½ to 2X their annual salary, according to a 2021 Gallup Survey.
