Most people never think of me as an introvert, but in many ways I am. I can be extroverted (indeed, I love people), but in doses. Then I need quiet again. It takes a lot out of me (in a good way, but still, recharging is necessary). Wendy has me in her book, too. And I am SO proud of her and think she has done such a great service to people with this book. b) Please let me know when you are planning your trip to NYC in the Spring so we can plan a meet-up. In fact, so many people will want to see you we should have a party! Hi Jason!

Very cool. I hope to meet you next March when I'm in NYC for the first time in my life! Liz, I find it interesting that you are an introvert, considering your business and book is about networking.

I'm an introvert too and it's so important for people to hear that you don't have to be the life of the party to network well (or be successful!). I do have a different approach to networking than my extroverted friends. Mostly I’ve found that I have to be more strategic about where and how I network -- and learn how to be highly proficient when networking in person while using online tools to multiply my efforts. But it's really worked well, so what I thought was a liability has turned out to be a big asset! Jason, I’m so glad you wrote about this book.
