In the past week or so, I have attended several networking events.What's new, right?
Well, here is my insight that seems to be so obvious.
Two of the many that I attended stand out. And they stand out for less than wonderful reasons.
At both, the host of the event did NOT welcome people with a big smile.
I felt like an intruder at both occasions. And I was an invited guest to both.
I know that in the past I have been accused of having a poker face. I have to actively work on making sure my smile is part of my make-up.
The lesson here for all of us is to set the other concerns of the world aside for that few minutes we need to show people that we are happy they are attending our event. If not, we can be sure we won't have to be the host in the future because we won't have guests.
