I am bad at networking. I should rephrase; I am bad at work networking. Networking with people who have similar interests to me is easy. Networking with people where the one thing we have in common is the company we work for, much harder.

Today I am at an all day leadership conference. The first hour is dedicated to networking. It’s not that I don’t know anyone; I know quite a few of our leaders because of my former role as an admin to an executive director. It’s more that I have no idea how to relate to these people.
