Speaking and Community Involvement for the Introvert
summary
Claims that networking beats one-off technical sessions and that 20 seconds of Courage starts conversations guide the advice here. A concrete example: a single question at a 2006 session connects to Thomas LaRock and becomes a 15-year professional friendship. Practical tools are meetups, Slack, mailing lists and PGUS user-group resources, plus scripting what to say and the habit-change book Change Anything. Targets: meet one to two new people per event, tell a memorable story, follow up on Slack, and organize local meetups to build referrals.
