Inside the mind of an 11-year-old American girl called Riley are five emotions; Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear. They operate her moods from a control panel and are wrestling for control of the girl’s emotions.
When it comes to networking I believe you and I have some or all of those same emotions.
Sadness
I find it sad when I see people on their own against the wall or circling the outside of groups not knowing how to break in. Sadness too when I leave an event having met no-one who entertained me or I learnt nothing new. But those occasions for me are very rare.
