What is one tip you’d give someone to improve their networking abilities? If I had to think of one it would be to do as much in person networking as possible. Go to events and conferences and make at least one key connection per event or per day.

What about you?

I would say when you show up at events, stay in motion. Get in and out of conversations. The real superpower skill at networking isn't starting conversations, it's knowing when to withdraw gracefully from conversations that aren't going anywhere. That can seem a little harsh, but if you're there to meet people and form some business connections, it's best not to get bogged down. Keep circulating.

Brigadeiro are scrumptious dulce de leche caramel bonbons, a beloved confection of Brazil. Brigadeiro is made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder which is heated in a saucepan until it thickens and becomes a sticky caramel. Once it cools, it is rolled into a ball and dipped in multicolored sprinkles.

The iconic bonbon was named after Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes, a 1946 presidential candidate. It was created to win voter support. (He lost).
