Don't Be a Nebach: How to Actually Network in Tech ft. Helena Baker of English Speaking Networking

Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Eat before you go. Leave the backpack at home. Keep conversations to about seven minutes.

Helena Baker, Founder of the English Speaking Network, has spent years running networking events in Israel, and she knows what separates people who leave with real connections from those who leave with nothing. In this episode of IsraelTech, she joins Yoel Israel to break down how to reach out on LinkedIn, what to ask for after a first meeting, and how Israeli founders can network their way to going global.

We Discuss:

Outreach: Writing LinkedIn messages that people want to answer

The Ask: Requesting introductions instead of jobs or clients

In the Room: How to show up with confidence, even while job hunting

Going Abroad: Using your Israeli story to open doors in the US

Knowing When to Stop: Why Helena closes what isn't working

If networking hasn't been working for you, start here.
