How to learn to love networking


You don’t have to be passive in your networking. People are usually interested in what other people have to say and the more people you engage with, the more you get to talk about what you’re up to, what your goals are, what your hopes and ambitions are for 2020. Along that journey, you’re almost certainly going to meet someone who can give you a helping hand.
