How do you feel about networking events? I don’t like small talk and prefer to go to events with my team or people I know.

Ugh, I absolutely hate networking events. However, I know they are important and useful, but I really have to get hyped up for them.

funny

Same! Luckily I have colleagues who are more hyped about it than me so they pulled me along!

I'm incredibly socially awkward. Networking events make me uncomfortable. I hate being put in positions where I have to force myself to have conversations with people I don't know.

I know what you mean! On the other hand I hate having to ask or pull things out of people just to make conversation… it’s not fair to them and makes them uncomfortable.

I think that they are good resources to find like minded people in the industry. After you go to a few of them, it gets easier.

That is true. I went to one recently that was full of execs and really was the reason I didn’t want to go….. they could care less about middle management. However I was pleasantly surprised once I met some of them!

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I go and I have a great time. Other times I drag myself there and count the minutes until I can bail. It helps if you go with a coworker or two so it's not as awkward.

Very true! I don’t think it looks good though if you’re hanging on to the same person the entire time at a work event though. I’ve forced myself to insert into strangers huddles and introduce myself 😂 even if I came with someone.

Additional Posts in Healthcare Administrators/Healthcare Leadership

I have a new employee that started last Monday, unfortunately it’s not going to work out. Long story, but we’re fairly certain the individual is using Meth and appears to have started/restarted fairly recently. I work with physicians, so it’s a consensus. We have to terminate employment, but what ethical obligation do we have? Two young children at home and no spouse. This is weighing heavily on us.
