The Problem with Single-Seater Networking (And Why To Avoid It)

Ever been to a networking event that left you feeling more frustrated than connected?

You've psyched yourself up, put on your best outfit, and stepped out of your comfort zone, only to find yourself in a room where you feel like the odd one out. Or worse....been told, "Sorry, we've already got someone who does what you do." 

Talk about a confidence killer, right?

In this episode, I'm reflecting on a recent conversation about "single-seater networking" and why it's got me all fired up! As someone who's all about collaboration and growth, it seriously grinds my gears to see key opportunities like networking being restricted for business owners. I mean, isn't the whole point of networking to expand our circles, not shrink them?

I share more on;

• The concept of single-seater networking and why it's problematic
• How restricting industry representation at networking events limits growth opportunities for entrepreneurs
• The negative impact on clients when their options for finding service providers are limited
• The importance of connection and learning from others in your industry
• Why diversity in networking events leads to better outcomes for everyone involved
• My personal stance against single-seater networking and the value of inclusive networking spaces

So whether you're a solopreneur looking to expand your circle or a business owner tired of restrictive practices, then tune in to explore why diverse networking is the key to unlocking real growth opportunities.
