🌍 3 Pro Tips for International Networking (That Actually Help You Build Real Friendships)

Ever feel like the person next to you has way more experience?

Yeah. We’ve all had “Why am I even here?” moments. 😅

But here’s the truth:

If you treat them like a true friend, not a rival—you both grow faster.

Because networking isn’t just about business. It’s about building bridges that last.

✅ 1. Don’t compete—connect

 👏 Celebrate their wins instead of comparing resumes.

 They’ll remember how you made them feel, not what you’ve done.

✅ 2. Ask human questions

 Skip the “What do you do?” checklist.

Try:

 🗣️ “What brought you here?”

 🗣️ “What are you working on that excites you?”

Curiosity > credentials.

✅ 3. Share, lift, repeat

 The best global professionals open doors for each other.

 Be generous with your ideas and encouragement.

 One real friendship is worth more than 50 cold contacts.

✨ In international networking, relationships matter more than résumés.

 Be kind. Be curious. Be the person who remembers names and birthdays.
