This is the 14th blog post in a series taken from my book ‘Networking tips for busy female professionals’. Each week, we will take a tip from the book and publish it in a blog post.
First of all, I believe that being punctual is a sign of good manners. But, putting manners to one side, it is true that the early bird gets the worm.
Groups of people start to form early in an evening. If you arrive before these groups start to close up, circulating is easier.
An event organiser may start with introductions as an ice-breaker – you don’t want to miss these introductions.
And finally, by arriving promptly you also miss out on the sight of a room stuffed full of people seemingly already involved in deep and meaningful conversations.
Action point:
- Plan to arrive on time for your next face-to-face networking event
