If you want to have more confidence in yourself while networking, you first have to get to know yourself. What are your values? What are your strengths? Who do you want to meet? Who are the people that give you energy instead of suck the life out of you? And then you'll be more intentional with who you want to build relationships with. You see, if you don't know who you are, how could anybody else get to know you to your core? So figuring yourself out and then setting up the right requirements, the right needs, and having a networking strategy will help you be more successful when you're networking.
