O que você faz se suas emoções são avassaladoras durante o networking profissional?

Identifying emotional triggers is essential because it allows for better emotional regulation and management. Here's why it's important: 1. Self-Awareness 2. Preparation 3. Control 4. Personal Growth 5. Healthier Interactions In short, knowing our emotional triggers helps we navigate your emotional landscape more effectively, leading to better outcomes both personally and professionally.

I have gone through this situation many times! I still do sometimes, and I find myself asking the question, "What am I doing here?" It's gotten better by practicing the following EQ skills: 1. Stop. Breathe. Leave the room and get fresh air if possible. 2. Remind yourself why you are there in the first place. What motivated you to drive to or attend this event? Sometimes just that reminder pushes me back into the room without further steps. 3. Go back to the space and make it your goal to approach someone who seems to be in the same situation as you and ask them a simple question, like "Enjoying the event?" The conversation can follow from there. The key here is to stretch yourself a little bit more than the last time. That is growth.

As a highly sensitive introvert, I can deeply empathize with this scenario as networking in noisy environments does not come naturally to me. Being self-aware of who you are, what emotions these events bring up, and knowing how to regulate them is key. 1. be aware of your physiological reactions - reframe your anxiety to excitement as it feels physiologically the same. 2. Identify what makes you nervous, overwhelmed, etc. - Where do these fears originally come from? (fear of: rejection, feeling not good enough, feeling alone) 3. Plan your behavior - visualize different situations and how you'd react 4. Reframe - reframe your triggers or the situation itself

Si vas a asistir a una reunión de networking, vé preparado, mental, emocional y con posibles temas para conversar. Así reducirás la ansiedad y potencial nerviosismo. Aplica la técnica 80/20, escucha más y habla menos. Haz preguntas, genera temas de conversación de interés y te relajarás con ello. En mi experiencia, poco a poco fue abriendo e interaccionando con personas a las cuales no conocía. De eso se trata el networking generar nuevas relaciones y contactos. Y por supuesto, seguir desarrollando confianza y ayudar a los que ya conoces. Para recibir, primero hay que dar.

Step away, take some space, pause. Drop the ‘networking’ agenda. See if he can just be there with yourself and with people without expectations.

Breathing is a great tool to stop impulsive emotional reactions. Not every breathing technique is equal though. The empathis is yet on the exhale. It is important to exhale longer than you inhale, e.g. three inhales and 5-6 exhales. It is the deep breathing (exhale) that activates your parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve, which in turn, slows your heartbeat and it's all about being calm and connecting socially.

Everyone thinks everyone else is better at networking! You are not alone. When I hear “overwhelm” I think 2 things: 1. What’s the cause? 2. Planning can reduce overwhelm. More on cause: get specific with yourself about what’s stressful. Don’t know how to approach people? Don’t know what to say? With this info you can plan to address the specific stressors. More on planning - some ideas: Have a few questions ready to choose from. Create a list of people to meet with and things you want to learn and accomplish. It’s easy to start with someone you know. Also remember: we are all in the room to learn and meet people. We are in the same boat! These ideas can help you be present and remove some stress from networking.

Give yourself some space and try focusing on the here and now. Step away from that overwhelming feeling - stretch, relax, try boxed breathing, listen to a guided meditation, and positive affirmations. And then restart and plan afresh!

Imagine harnessing the power of your breath to transform stress into serenity 💞 The 7-8-4 breathing exercise involves a three-step rhythmic pattern: first, you inhale deeply through your nose while counting to 7, then hold your breath for a count of 8, and finally, exhale slowly through your mouth to the count of 4. This technique is a simple yet powerful tool for calming the mind, reducing stress, and enhancing focus. By concentrating on your breath, it can lead your body into a state of relaxation, making it perfect for unwinding in moments of high tension.

In my experience, working with breath, work is an accessible, profound and simple way to the ground yourself, in the moment of overwhelm. In a networking event, you may be able to do this in in an unhurried way, unnoticed, especially if you can find a quiet space.

All humans experience emotional rush once in a while. Few with experience and self awareness are better controlled and few are still learning. Talk to people who underdstands you at work and home, take their feedback and they will too help you identify your triggers. Once identified don't defend or overexplain. Just see - What could have done better and how can i improvise. #When it comes to emotional awareness and intelligence, your experience, observations and attitude (willingness to change) are your best teachers.

Hay infinidad de grupos, asociaciones o foros en los que puedes apoyarte para encontrar conexión, nuevos vínculos o nuevas relaciones profesionales. Te puedes apuntar por internet, cada día más aumentan las comunidades de personas que desean integrarse, grupos de similares intereses, etc. ¡Pierde el miedo! Verás que terminarás disfrutándolo o, incluso, siendo miembro fundador de algún nuevo grupo alineado a tus objetivos.

The best thing you can do is regroup, readjust, and start fresh. Take a moment to gather yourself, and then assessment what needs to be adjusted. From there, you could find a different starting point to start connecting again. Staying that conflicting place will cause emotional overloading, and could lead to choices you can't take back.

Yo tuve un mentor que decía: 'es mejor pocos contactos de calidad que cien volando'. Se refería a que, en esos momentos clave, en que necesitas ayuda, consejo o apoyo, tengas a quien recurrir de verdad. Piensa: ¿acudirías a alguien de quien has intercambiado tarjetas, o con alguien con quien has compartido un café, una charla interesante, una comida divertida? Profundizar en los vínculos es una manera fortalecer tu bienestar emocional y mental, donde hay un intercambio, donde tú puedes ayudar y viceversa, donde la calidad de las interacciones te proporciona una sensación de pertenencia, seguridad, significación. Y cuando lo ves así, te das cuenta de la importancia de la calidad y no de la cantidad, tus emociones se vuelven más placenteras.

The key is to be interested in the person you are talking to because people like people who like them. Use active listening techniques and find the aspects you can authentically empathize with. That's where you connect naturally with the other person. Showing your vulnerabilities makes people bond as well and when sharing true and difficult stories, you are allowing others to say: "Me too, you are not alone". That makes the mirror neurons in your brains fire together and, hence, you connect over authentic and long-lasting topics. That's also how you stay memorable.

Yes, be authentic and empathetic with yourself, about what you are experiencing. This is a great first response. You could follow it up with a simple glass of water to replenish your nervous system, and some simple breath work to ground yourself perhaps even some fresh air might help and then see if you’re ready to step back in - but there’s no rush!

Yo tuve muchos problemas de adaptación cuando vine a vivir a un nuevo país. Hacía todo lo posible por caer bien, por asimilarme a los nativos, por entenderlos. Pero todo ello me hacía perder espontaneidad, frescura, autenticidad. Entonces decidí ser yo, abiertamente, mostrando mis dudas, mis temores, mi vulnerabilidad. A la vez, también me volví súper empático, gran escuchador, interesándome genuinamente por el interlocutor de turno. Fue un proceso duro y arduo, no tuvo resultados inmediatos, pero con el tiempo encontré mi lugar, mi red de vida, un entorno en el que pude brillar y dar servicio a otras personas. Esencial trabajarse las emociones, reconocerlas y seguir aprendiendo a gestionarlas, ¡vital!

Listen more and talk less. Ask questions when appropriate to get people connecting with. This way they will want to know about you, your knowledge, experiences, and will be more open and comfortable with you. Be yourself, be honest, and let both your strengths and weaknesses come out in conversation. This will allow others to see you are authentic and not just trying to be fake.

I dislike networking and if I have to do it, I do my best to smile, ask lots of questions and listen attentively. After a while, I take a break. And if I only have one conversation, but had a nice chat, I count it as a success. If people get too overwhelmed, it would be useful to find out what triggers the emotions and then devise strategies how to avoid them or deal with them more effectively. Work to your strengths and if networking events are not good for your emotional/mental health, don't attend them.
