So many people feel that in order to be a good networker you have to be extremely extroverted, aggressive, and full of yourself. But the reality is that networking is based on reciprocity, trust, and authenticity. Once people realize that they don't have to (and shouldn't) compromise who they are, networking becomes less of a chore and more of an extension of who they really are. Jason,

Funny, I've always known a lot of different people. But, it's been more random and on the surface. Actually networking adds another layer, makes it more permanent.
