Episode 10 - Why Networking Confidence Comes AFTER You Start
-
Narrated by:

In this episode of Networking Nuggets, Keith explores one of the biggest misconceptions in networking, the idea that confident people start confident.
Instead, he explains why confidence is usually the result of action, repetition, awkward moments, and experience rather than something people magically possess beforehand.
The episode looks at networking anxiety, comparison, overthinking, and the pressure people put on themselves to “get it right,” while offering a far more human and realistic way to approach confidence.
Key Themes
- Networking anxiety
- Confidence vs experience
- Overthinking conversations
- Comparison and self-doubt
- Progress through repetition
- Why awkwardness is normal
Listener Takeaway
Confidence is not a prerequisite for networking.
It’s something that gradually develops through showing up, practising, surviving awkward moments, and realising nobody is judging you as much as you think they are.
