I think part of the challenge with networking is that for introverts, it doesn’t always come naturally. And the other piece is consistency. You can’t just meet someone once or twice and expect a real relationship to form. You have to keep showing up, without expectations or an agenda. People can sense that kind of thing from a mile away.

That's true. And we very much expect things to happen naturally and forget that relationships take real effort to grow and maintain.

Yes and that can get especially tricky when you meet people online.
