You’re about to attend a networking event. What are the best ways to make it a success?
At my first networking event, I was afraid to enter the room. Another networker took me in with her and even introduced me to the room. Since then I make sure I make all new comers feel at ease. I have learned that it is important to be yourself, talk to as you can and the ones you connect with, build a relationship with. Building great relationships take time, but in time they pay off. Do not expect to go to a networking event and come back with a list of clients, it takes time to get to know each other and then doing business gets easier.

How can you effectively use active listening in remote work settings?
I agree that active listening is very important. I always use video and ask my clients to turn their camera on too. I listen, make notes, repeat and summarize what they said. Never judge them for their views or actions or mistakes. Then I follow up with an email to make sure we are on the same page.
