Hanging out with people "shoulder to shoulder" instead of eye-to-eye is a great strategy for lowering the intensity of networking, but it's not the only one. In this episode, I talk about the ways we can take the anxiety down a notch whenever we network.

I also give an update on my LinkedIn experiment, and I open up the Q&A line. If you have a networking question, email me at Laura@PitchingPerfectly.com. And if you are reading this before the end of February 2026, there's still time to sign up for my Monday Networking Nudges; learn more here.

See you next week!
