Day 52: What I learned at my first networking event 1. Everybody is human, even the people you look up to. Once you start talking, you realize people genuinely want to connect, not judge. Most conversations start with one simple question. 2. Your story is your biggest asset. You don’t need a fancy title or huge résumé. When you explain who you are and what you do with confidence, people remember you. 3. Opportunities come from conversations you didn’t plan for. The best connections weren’t the ones you aimed for, they were the random people standing next to you who opened doors you didn’t expect.
