You walk into the room. You don't know anyone. So you find a spot near the wall, you look at your phone, and you wait for someone to talk to you. And usually, no one does.
Tzufit Herling knows that feeling, because that used to be her. She's built communities for a living for almost a decade; she's advised founders and organizations around the world, and three years ago she moved to Portugal without a single connection or the language. In this episode, she walks through exactly how a quiet, introverted person builds a real network on purpose, without pretending to be someone louder.
In this conversation:
Why "just network more" is useless advice, and what to actually do first
How to build connections in a place (or a job) where you know no one
How to choose which communities are worth your time when there are a hundred of them
Why giving value first is the whole game, especially if you hate self-promotion
How to walk into a room full of men and not stand there circling alone
