<b>The Place to Network:</b> Mind Over Matter

Olivia Fox Cabane

Visualization can help speed the process of learning a new skill ' networking, for instance. My coaching clients' main priority is often increasing their level of confidence and comfort in networking. They want to feel absolutely confident when walking into a room full of strangers at a cocktail party, or when going onstage to face a sea of people at a conference. They want to feel perfectly at ease, and perform at their best, when meeting a new client, or current clients ' especially someone who they know to be difficult. Visualization is a perfect tool for this: through guided imagery, you can ensure that whatever you're feeling is exactly those feelings you want; and that you're performing at the top of your abilities.
