Networking is a big buzzword these days. People are joining networking Web
sites and networking groups in the hopes of improving their career or social
status, or simply expanding their social circle. Confessions of an
Introvert: The Shy Girl's Guide to Career, Networking, and Getting the Most
of Out Life (Sphinx/Sourcebooks, 978-1-57248-697-3) helps women for whom
networking and self-promotion don't come naturally.
"[E]xtroverts gain energy from other people and introverts feel like they
just get the energy sucked out of them by other people," author Meghan Wier
writes. She is an expert on marketing and networking, and a self-proclaimed
introvert. Wier insists that introverts can become charismatic speakers and
great leaders. She helps readers along the way with sections on identifying
sources of anxiety, building confidence in tough situations, becoming an
expert in one's field, and organization. In order to make public speaking
easier, she recommends that readers write down everything they dislike about
speaking and why, then come up with actions that will offset each item.
