About this service

Summary

Many indie developers find networking intimidating, unsure of how to start conversations or maintain relationships, leading to frustration and missed opportunities. I provide tailored guidance to help you overcome these challenges and turn networking into a powerful tool for career growth.
Through practical steps, we’ll build your confidence, streamline your efforts, and develop strategies for starting conversations, following up effectively, and nurturing lasting connections. My approach simplifies networking, showing how impactful and rewarding it can be with the right mindset and tools.
Let’s work together to transform networking from a challenge into a key driver of your success in the game development industry.

Process

We'll cover different scenarios for which you need help. For example, online networking is fundamentally different than doing it in-person. Each has a unique set of challenges that you need to master.
Also, an important part of networking is to gauge the audience you'll be part of. It involves research on your end to know if you will want to be part of a particular community, either on the receiving or giving end. We'll be discussing how networking can benefit you and your role in navigating it comfortably.
Our session will last an hour during which you can bring up your questions. After the session ends, I'll give you a report of where you can improve as well as resources that might help you down the road.
