Innovators Module Why do we do this? Program Networking isn’t natural for all It seems that about half of people are rather introverts. We should also make it easier for them to network. What works for introverts can also be easily used by extroverts. There are many networkings There is not just one way of networking there are many. We want you to discover the way that feels comfortable for you.
