In this episode I chat with the Laureen 'Lulu' Al Barouki, a Syrian-Australian content creator AND professional extrovert who has just moved to the UAE. Laureen is highly skilled in networking and making friends in new cities, and in this episode I get to learn the art of how to network with new people and make friends. In this fascinating conversation we cover:
- how you should prepare to meeting people before moving to a new city
- how to use social media for networking and finding people & places
- How men and women network differently to prevent unwanted perceptions
- How to approach people in a social setting vs. a business setting
- How to talk to people at a restaurant, cafe, or networking event ALONE
- how to enter and exit conversations
- when to call someone after meeting them
- How to follow up with someone and make a plan
- how to not sound 'too eager'
- the mindset of an extrovert
- how to make friends as an introvert
- conquering social fear and anxiety
