    Your Energy Speaks Before You Do. Adventures In Networking EP19.

    In networking - and in business - the results you get are shaped by what you bring to the room. On this episode of Adventures In Networking, we’re joined by business growth mentor Kate Chastey to talk about the seemingly minor adjustments you can make that will have a significant impact on your networking. Kate’s post about rebuilding after business closure struck a chord - we’ll be chatting about the importance of using your energy to bounce back … even when you don’t feel like it. Oh and we’ll swap stories about how networking shaped our personal lives too (turns out, we’re not the only people to meet our partner at networking).
