I was at a conference this week and it was fair to say that the introvert within me was struggling.
It was good and I made loads of new connections which could help my career but, boy was it tiring.
I’ve learnt in this situation that I cope best when I am socialising and networking with others in small chunks. That is, networking, taking a break (like going for a walk around the grounds), then going back to socialise and network some more.
Think of this as my recharging my mental batteries.
