In this episode, we’re tackling something that many of us in UX, product, and design secretly struggle with: networking.Let’s be honest—traditional networking was built for extroverts.〜 Loud voices, quick conversations, and constant self-promotion dominate events.〜 Social platforms like LinkedIn reward frequent posting and engagement.〜 Conferences and meetups can be draining, especially for introverts.So, what if networking didn’t have to feel this way?We’ll explore:〜 Why traditional networking methods fail introverts〜 How UX could improve digital networking experiences〜 What AI could do to facilitate deeper and more natural connections〜 Whether we can borrow UX tricks from dating apps to make networking feel less forcedNetworking is one of the most valuable future skills—but does it need a complete redesign? Check out ⁠WIX Studio⁠Other resources💻 ✨Waiting list for the AI Academy: 6-week Bootcamp to Learn How to Master AI as a Designer→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get notified when doors are opening again⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠👉 0€ AI mini Training for Designers 👈→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn 3 strategies to leverage gen AI as a designer in just 30 min⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💌 Newsletter → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Weekly UX insights and updates: UX Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the Future of UX:🎨 Linkedin: ⁠Future of UX Podcast⁠📸 Instagram: ⁠Future of UX Podcast⁠🍏 Apple Podcast: ⁠Future of UX⁠💚 Spotify: ⁠Future of UX⁠Find Patricia on Socials📸 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram @ux.patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin Patricia Reiners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🐦 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter @ux_Patricia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📝 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My UX Design Blog ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
