Most lawyers and legal marketers have been taught a version that actually makes real connection harder.\nIn this mini episode of So Much To Say: A Legal Podcast For People, Megan Senese challenges the way networking is typically framed in the legal industry. The version that says you need to work the room, prove your value, and leave with something to show for it.\nThat version doesn’t just feel uncomfortable. It makes real connection harder.\nThis episode offers a different approach. One rooted in curiosity, generosity, and the understanding that networking isn’t about what you get. It’s about how you show up and how you make people feel.\nWho this is for:\nLawyers and legal marketers who feel awkward or drained at networking events\nProfessionals who leave conferences feeling like they didn’t “do enough”\nAnyone who believes they’re bad at networking\nPeople under pressure to turn every interaction into ROI\nWhat you’ll take away:\nYou’re not bad at networking. You’ve been taught a version that doesn’t work\nWhy even experienced professionals still feel uncomfortable at events\nHow the pressure to “get something” undermines connection\nWhat shifts when you approach networking with curiosity instead of expectation\nWhy people remember how you made them feel, not what you said\n\nA different way to approach your next event:\nReach out to people you know will be there before you arrive\nLet people know you’re attending and invite connection in advance\nFocus on meeting people, not making something happen \n\nWant more tips and insights?
