Will Truth or Dare help for old school networking?

Questioner: Course question—I’m an old-school networker, don’t do a huge online biz component on social. T or D still helpful?

Simone: A lot of Truth or Dare will focus on online marketing, but a good chunk of it will be dedicated to in-person reachouts and network-building as well, because I find my people are increasingly wary of putting all their eggs in the social media basket.

But independent of whether you join T or D, I think you should consider building an online presence that reflects your brilliance and energy. It really couldn’t hurt, and you never know what kind of connections it could create.

Nurturing online connections is the same as offline connections — none of it is any kind of instant solution.

But the more you show up as your authentic self and give yourself “dares” to connect instead of hiding in your bubble (not saying you’re doing that, just generally), the more opportunities you’ll create for yourself!

So that’s the meat of T or D: daring to be your most authentic and brave self and building your tolerance for taking strategic risks to maximize the opportunities that come your way, whether online or off.

If that sounds like something you might have fun with, we’d love to have you.
