In this conversation with host Andrew Geary, Lia offers tips and best practices to fully utilize networking to further your career and technical skills.

She outlines the unique ways that both introverts and extroverts struggle with networking (and how to address them). Lia also explores why no one can tell if you have confidence (or not) and why approaching each person as an individual treasure chest can unlock career-defining connections.
