Are You Asking Questions About You?

Camille Virginia is the founder of ‘Master Offline Dating’ (as well as a returning guest to the show…click here for her first interview), and she’s the author of the brand new (soon-to-be) bestselling book The Offline Dating Method. Camille has taught more than 100 live workshops, worked with clients across six continents, and has followers in over 100 countries. Needless to say, Camille knows a thing or two about what it takes to connect and build meaningful relationships in the real world.

Which brings me to the question you might be asking right now: Why is a dating coach on a podcast about career development? Well you’ve no doubt heard the adage, “it’s all about who you know” right? Guess what, getting to know people and building relationships in the professional world is IDENTICAL to the process of dating and building relationships…the only difference might be the benefits at the finish line. 🙂

If you find yourself thinking, “I don’t know how to reach out to people,” or “I’m just bothering them,” or “Why would someone want to talk to me?” then you need to listen to this interview. Camille isn’t just about the theory, she provides practical action steps to help you start conversations with the right people and build relationships that can lead to mentorship opportunities, jobs, and long-lasting collaborative partnerships.
