One of the biggest myths that plagues the business world today is that our ability to network depends on having the “gift-of-gab”. You don’t have to be outgoing to be successful at networking. You don’t have to become a relentless self-promoter. In fact, you don’t have to act like an extrovert at all. Matthew Pollard, an introvert himself, draws on over a decade of research and real-world examples to provide an actionable blueprint for introverted networking.

In 2015, Arlan Hamilton was on food stamps and sleeping on the floor of the San Francisco airport, with nothing but an old laptop and a dream of breaking into the venture capital business. She couldn’t understand why people starting companies all looked the same (white and male), and she wanted the chance to invest in the ideas and people who didn’t conform to this image of how a founder is supposed to look. Hamilton had no contacts or network in Silicon Valley, no background in finance - not even a college degree. What she did have was fierce determination and the will to succeed.

Publisher's summary
We all understand the power storytelling has to move people to action. What’s difficult is communicating your personal story - or that of your organization - in a way that not only rings true, but connects with your audience on a deeper level. Sometimes you’re cursed with too much knowledge, unsure of how to relay your story to those who don’t know what you know. Other times, you don’t believe your story is worth sharing.
Here’s the truth: There is untapped equity in your story. In his new book Mommy Lied to God, Carlos Maestas wants to help you unlock that equity. You’ll learn the characteristics of authentic storytelling and how to apply them so your stories build trust with your audience. If you’re struggling with what to say, Carlos will show you how to simplify your message and clearly communicate the value you can offer people. As he shares lessons from his own experiences and those of others, you’ll be inspired to live a better story and connect to something bigger than yourself.
