The Observer

You tend to hang back in a crowd.  You watch what is going on, but don’t get involved.  You never initiate and rarely follow up on making new connections.  The result is, your network is small, and you are not in front of people’s minds as a resource.  If you are uncomfortable, make slight changes.

Consider making the follow up via email or through social media.  If you prefer one on one – invite someone to lunch.  If the group is more comfortable at first, then tag along or ask to join a group that has room for one more at the table.  Look for situations that match your style and comfort until you get used to joining in.
