ELAINY MATA: Gael, please inform me what’s the most popular method to pronounce your title?
GAEL AITOR: I really feel like in Spanish, I would love if everybody would simply say, “Gael.” Just how it’s. But after all, simply within the US, I’m all the time like, okay, “My name’s Gael. Gael Aitor.”
ELAINY MATA: Gael. Gael. Welcome to New Here, sincere conversations and sensible recommendation that will help you play the sport referred to as work. I’m Elainy Mata. This week we’re going to take a look at networking, particularly whenever you’re beginning from scratch and must make all these awkward first attain outs and introductions. Wait, so now I’m curious. What’s everybody’s full title pronunciation in Spanish? Mine is Elainy Mata.
GAEL AITOR: Interesting. I’m simply Gael Aitor.
ELAINY MATA: Aitor?
GAEL AITOR: Aitor.
ELAINY MATA: Nice.
GAEL AITOR: Yeah, Gael Aitor.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: I am Eric Jonathan Rodriguez. My mother and father needed me to slot in so quick within the ’80s.
ELAINY MATA: But you say like, “Eric.”
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: [foreign language 00:00:59].
ELAINY MATA: You won’t purchase into the concept networking issues otherwise you may suppose that It’ll all the time really feel faux and inauthentic. You may even suppose, I have LinkedIn. Isn’t that sufficient? One factor I’ve discovered is that networking is extra about discovering methods to help different individuals and constructing actual relationships. And these relationships might help you sooner or later, even when you can’t see it proper now. Reframing networking this manner has additionally helped me recover from a few of the awkward first interactions that a whole lot of us dread. Another factor that’s helped me is considering constructing knowledgeable community in the identical approach that I construct friendships. Today, we’ll discover other ways to begin these relationships in a approach that feels genuine. And we’ll discover ways to maintain these relationships over time. Let’s begin with step one. You simply heard me making small discuss with our company earlier than we began our taping, and often we reduce that half out of the episode, however we needed to point out it to you as a result of we had been really discovering connection inside one another earlier than we start. And though small discuss might really feel compelled and uncomfortable, it is a vital first step in constructing relationships. Another method to break the ice is an effective old style elevator pitch. Before we start something deeper, I need every of you to inform me how you’ll introduce your self to me as if we had been assembly at an occasion.
GAEL AITOR: Okay.
ELAINY MATA: That’s the problem. And then I’ll do it too. And I’ll do it too. I’ll do it too.
GAEL AITOR: That’s all the time tough. It’s all the time altering. It’s like, how do you discover the steadiness between not making it appear to be you’re overcompensating, but in addition getting the complete grasp of what you do and so that you’re taking severely. And so for me, simply the fast spiel, ten second introduction is, “Hi, I’m Gael. I am the host of a teenage therapy podcast, which is one of the largest youth mental health podcasts in the world. And recently, a couple months ago I started Astro Studios, which is a Gen Z podcast production company.”
ELAINY MATA: That’s excellent. And then you definately Eric, how do you introduce your self?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yeah, I introduce myself like, “Hi I’m, Eric Rodriguez. I’m a global keynote speaker and I speak on the power of embracing change and disruption.”
ELAINY MATA: See, oh, so I am listening to this theme of it’s good to simply have this one … Like they are saying, the elevator pitch. Just this one sentence factor. I guess I would say, “Hi, my name is Elainy Mata. I’m a producer at Harvard Business Review and I like to make audio and video stuff.” That’s truthfully what I say.
GAEL AITOR: I imply that’s what it’s.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: That’s nice. It’s an ideal … Yeah.
ELAINY MATA: So now you’ve met our company, who by the best way, I met by networking. More on that later. Gael created his first podcast when he was in highschool. Now at 20, he’s constructing his personal manufacturing firm. Eric is a former tech government. He spent greater than a decade at Intel and now He’s making a profession pivot to grow to be a public speaker. For each Gael and Eric, networking is a large a part of their work they usually’ve each had a whole lot of follow doing it. We’ll hear what works for them and a few of their horror tales about what has gone flawed. Plus, we’ll reply your questions on getting began with networking. Okay, let’s get into it. So I was listening to Gael’s episode of, “Am I Horrible at Making Friends,” this morning. And even one in every of your articles in Medium, Gael, you had been saying community within the spirit of constructing buddies. So what’s the distinction, then, between networking and making buddies?
GAEL AITOR: I suppose it varies as a result of some individuals see it as one and the identical, however we additionally need to acknowledge that not all the things is a friendship. And there’s a clear distinction between enterprise buddies and your skilled circle and your precise social circle. And to name all of it friendship can be doing a disservice to the precise connections which are your pals. That’s the massive distinction between what a friendship is, which is an intentional attain out versus, oh, it’s good to see you once more on the similar convention.
ELAINY MATA: Do you agree, Eric, the distinction between? And do you strategy it in that very same approach? Networking versus making buddies?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yeah, I suppose one of many issues that shifted my mindset on this specific query was, just a few years in the past somebody requested me, mentioned, “Hey Eric, how big is your network?” And so instantly my response was, “All right, let me check my phone.” So I checked my cellphone and I both go to LinkedIn and I test my contact and I’m like, “Oh, this is the number.” And they’re like, “No, who’s in your network?” And I was like, “I don’t understand your question.” And mainly their reply was, the individuals which are in your community are the individuals you’re keen to name and ask for his or her time within the subsequent 24 hours and say, “Hey, I need 15 minutes of your time because this is happening to me. Can you give me 15 minutes of your time?” And they’re keen to maneuver all the things for you, that’s who your speedy and your most trusted community is. This is a protracted sport. You is not going to have somebody on that record in 24 hours that I simply met yesterday and say, “Hey, I need your help tomorrow.” No, this takes time. It takes time to construct that record. And in order that was a private reflection that I had is like, who’s on my record of oldsters that, one, I would name? But then, two, who am I keen to reply that decision that claims, “Eric, I need put some minutes of your time tomorrow.” And so additionally appreciating these relationships as effectively. And so am I taking my time in my day-to-day or in my week to proceed to construct these relationships that you simply by no means know whenever you may want them. It may be in a spirit of a friendship, one thing may be taking place that’s extra private, however it may additionally be within the spirit of enterprise.
ELAINY MATA: So I surprise, how have y’all been capable of begin conversations, chilly conversations, in a setting like this? Or even on social, if you wish to message any individual or DM any individual? Because I suppose that’s a extremely laborious activity to search out that commonality and the way do you begin that convo?
GAEL AITOR: Yeah, that’s when it turns into loads more durable to community in the best way that you simply may wish to view networking as. Which, I suppose for each of us, is friendship over exploitative, what can we get out of one another? I understand when I’m networking with individuals as younger as me I suppose It’s loads simpler and pure and networking simply occurs. You grow to be buddies, you see one another, you’re co-working, and then you definately consider one another when there’s tasks to work on. But, now whenever you’re approaching individuals considerably older than you, I suppose what has helped me loads is being mission-driven and having a really clear mission and an influence that you simply wish to see. Because I suppose a whole lot of older people resonate with younger individuals doing one thing to make an influence on this planet. And for me that has all the time been about youth psychological well being and serving to younger individuals really feel much less alone. And so though age isn’t essentially a commonality, I suppose lots of people subscribe to the mission and the influence and the work that I’m doing all through it. And greater than something, they’re keen to be mentors, they’re keen to assist, they’re keen to increase my community, my social circle. And in the event that they just like the work, raise you up.
ELAINY MATA: What different other ways of networking have y’all been discovering which are helpful to you, different than simply going to an occasion?
GAEL AITOR: Well, for me, I suppose occasions usually are not how I choose to community. I suppose possibly I ought to do extra of them. I suppose that might most likely actually get me into new circles. For me, networking has all the time been about chilly DMing, really, and heat intros and stuff like that. It’s very informal. I suppose it’s sort like, hey, I love what you’re doing. We’re in the identical circle, we have now mutuals, we’re in the identical group areas, we’re in the identical tasks, no matter it may be. And then reaching out to them. And I suppose, particularly for younger individuals, possibly that is extra related, when you’ve gotten a whole lot of mutuals on Twitter, Twitter has been unimaginable for networking. If you’ve gotten a whole lot of mutuals, when you reply to individuals’s tweets usually, when you work together with them, that’s what I discover unlocks so many doorways. Because if somebody that’s been replying to your tweets again and again and interesting with you in significant dialog, finally reaches over and truly DMs you, you’re extra more likely to reply. And so stuff like that has been unimaginable for assembly new individuals.
ELAINY MATA: We’re speaking about networking as if it’s so easy, however it may nonetheless be laborious. Which results in my subsequent query, have y’all had some networking fails the place it didn’t work out the best way that you simply thought it was going to?
GAEL AITOR: Oh, yeah.
ELAINY MATA: Based on each of your faces, sure.
GAEL AITOR: Oh, yeah. I’ve had a pair. I had one fairly just lately, really.
ELAINY MATA: Oh, what’s it?
GAEL AITOR: There was this individual that I had been making an attempt to fulfill for the longest time, and it was somebody in my trade that has been actually profitable they usually’ve simply been nice at all the things they’ve accomplished. And so I related with them on LinkedIn and I requested in the event that they wish to get on a name. To my shock, they responded they usually added me on an e mail thread with their assistant. And so I was capable of begin scheduling a name. And this was possibly starting of June and the decision didn’t get scheduled till August. Turns out that I ended up having to attend this convention on the identical day that I was going to have this name. But I thought, okay, it’ll be okay. I may take some minutes, go to a room, discover a while to take this name and it’ll be wonderful. And so the time comes, the decision’s at 1:30 and it’s like 1:28, I’m scrambling to complete lunch and get began on this. I’m looking for a room now. I be a part of a random room when another person can be on a name. And then I realized, I’m opening my pc with two minutes to arrange. I realized I don’t have web, I don’t have the wifi password but. And I’m like, oh my gosh, let me arrange my hotspot. And I’m making an attempt to arrange my hotspot and now there’s a minute left. And as I’m making an attempt to set it up, now it’s 1:30 so the decision is meant to be beginning, my pc’s simply lagging. So I get on the decision two minutes late at 1:32 and I’m like, “Hey, I’m so sorry. Thank you so much for waiting for me.” And then the very first thing I hear is, “Oh, I think you’re delayed. There’s a pretty big delay. I see you speaking, but I don’t hear you for another five, 10 seconds.” And I’m like, oh no, Let me see if I can repair this. Of course there was no fixing it, and so I scrambled for a minute being like, maintain on. And she’s like, “You know what? It’s fine. Let’s just continue. I think It’s better now.” I’m like, “Okay, great. How are you?” And there’s an enormous delay, so it’s like small discuss doesn’t even work. And so when there’s a delay, you simply can’t have any small discuss as a result of it’s like, that power isn’t there. The connection isn’t going to work. So I was like, okay, effectively I guess We’ll simply get proper to it. And so I began possibly asking for some assist and a few suggestions. And lengthy story brief, the decision goes on for possibly 10, 11 minutes, connection points all through it. And at that time I was additionally already considering, you already know what? At this level I ought to simply be like, “Hey, I’m so sorry, it’s clearly not working out. I feel bad. I feel like I’m wasting your time.” But earlier than I may say it, she was like, “Okay, you know what? Let’s just end the call, email me with any questions, we’ll figure it out.” And I was like, “Yeah, I agree. Thank you so much for being patient. Sorry it turned out like this.” And they had been like, “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” I keep in mind considering after this second, wow, that went horrible. I hope they don’t hate me. I hope I am not … Because it’s like, as soon as that occurs, you’re left on this bizarre spot of the place does this connection go away us? And is it a lifeless connection? And so I determined to simply, I was like, you already know what? I’ll simply ship a pleasant e mail thanking them for his or her time, apologizing for the connection points. And in the event that they actually hated me, hated my first introduction, they don’t wish to reply, that’s okay, however at the least it’ll be on the market. Just to by no means burn a bridge. And I guess it does have a contented ending as a result of they did reply very effectively they usually mentioned, “You know what? It was okay. Don’t worry about it, happens. Just stay in touch.” But nonetheless, not the best first introduction so I’m hoping finally I can provide possibly some worth to make up for what I really feel like was wasted time.
ELAINY MATA: Kudos to you for holding calm, although.
GAEL AITOR: Yeah, it was robust.
ELAINY MATA: [inaudible 00:13:12].
GAEL AITOR: It was undoubtedly robust, however it was like, you already know what? That’s all you are able to do.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Absolutely. That has occurred to me a number of instances, particularly whenever you’re talking with somebody that may be a trade chief or a senior government or what have you ever. What I attempt to do, I give them a heads-up on who I am. Because greater than doubtless, you already know extra about that individual than they learn about you. And in the event that they’re simply providing you with quarter-hour, half-hour of their time, you wish to get straight to the purpose of what do you want from them to a sure extent. Because that’s authentically why y’all are connecting in these kind of conditions, by saying, “Hey, [inaudible 00:13:45], I’ll give you 10 minutes of my time, 15 minutes of my time, because you seem to be an up-and-coming. I’ll give it to you.” But when you spend the primary 10 minutes simply catching up on the state of your corporation, the final 5 minutes is the ask and also you don’t have a possibility to go in depth. And so what I attempt to do, I attempt to simply create a one pager and simply ship that to them. Slightly bit about my background. The probability of them studying that may be very low, however the probability of them skimming by it two minutes earlier than your assembly is definitely very excessive as a result of they wish to be useful. Again, they don’t wish to meet with you only for the sake of assembly. They wish to be of service. And so when you take it from that spirit, put together them, give them, equip them for them to be of service to you. So that’s my fast tip on that.
GAEL AITOR: That’s an ideal tip as a result of I suppose, that’s one other factor about networking that I need to study to get comfy with, is knowing that, like I mentioned earlier, it’s not only a friendship. That you’re simply catching up. It actually is an ask and also you each need to be comfy with that. And that’s been one thing that’s been robust to navigate, as a result of with these individuals which are clearly rather more senior, sure, I’m connecting with them to study from them. And I suppose I have to modify my strategy from considering, oh possibly let’s catch up for a bit, find out about one another. What’s your life like? What’s my life like? It’s like no, they’re giving me time. Even if it feels a bit of unnatural to simply be like, “Okay, here’s what I want to learn from you. I need to know about this and this.” That’s what they’re there for and that’s only a completely different dynamic that you simply don’t do in your day-to-day life. Which is a shocker for youthful professionals who’re lastly coming into networking and looking for those that might help them.
ELAINY MATA: Yeah. Wait, so Eric, what was the lineup of the one-pager? Break it down.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Sure. I imply imply some individuals might be one PowerPoint slide. So it simply has who I am, an image of myself, what I’m engaged on, what my mission is. Maybe a few of my greatest accomplishments. Again, associated to the individual you’re speaking to. So it’s not only one doc that you simply ship to the remainder of the world. There’s a template, however then you definately work by it relying on who you’re speaking with. And then the ultimate factor, which is in large daring, is what I am searching for. And in order that might be, I’m searching for a mentor within the areas of X, Y, Z. Or I’m searching for a sponsorship on this. Or I’m trying to collaborate on this concept that I have. Or I’m trying to join with somebody on this trade due to X, Y, Z. If you’re capable of be that particular with that, after which join that to what your model is, I suppose that’s an ideal begin.
ELAINY MATA: I like that, however I’m going to pin you since you haven’t shared your community fail.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Sorry. Okay, so a community fail, and a quite common fail that I have, is that I wrestle with names. And when you ask anybody, it’s like, what’s the most lovely sound that anybody would ever hear of their life? It’s their title. And so it’s worthwhile to respect that and honor that. And so when I get launched to people, I attempt to verify I repeat their names. So that’s one of many methods that I have. But I’ve been in conditions the place individuals acknowledge me, as a result of both they noticed me at a convention or they see me some other place, they are saying, “Hey Eric, how’s it going?” And I’m like, hello. And they know me they usually know what I’ve been speaking about, so I’m like, did I meet you some other place? Did you simply see me on stage? Is this only a random … did you see a badge? How are you aware me? And all these things goes by my head. And so I’ve had these alternatives to say, “Hey, you know what? I’m sorry, can you remind me again of your name.” And that’s fully okay. But the opposite trick that I constructed was, whenever you’re with another person, say if I was with Gael and we’re having this dialog, another person approaches me they usually say, “Hey Eric, man, great to see you again. How are things going?” And I forgot their title. The very first thing I do is I introduce them to Gael. And I’m like, “Hey let me introduce you to my friend Gael.” And then they instantly, robotically will most likely say, “Hi, my name is …”
ELAINY MATA: Well hey, Gael, title is …
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: And I’m like a-ha. It instantly simply clicks and I’m like, now I keep in mind you.
ELAINY MATA: Coming up after the break we reply your networking questions and we’ll study some methods to maintain these relationships lasting over time. Be proper again. Okay, we’re again. Let’s get into some questions on networking that we’ve collected from listeners and our HBR interns. So right here’s the primary query, it’s from one in every of our former interns, Beatrice.
BEATRICE GAUTHIER: Let’s say you wish to work in an trade. If you search up on LinkedIn, there’s so many various individuals who work in that trade, how are you aware who to attach with? Personally, I wish to work within the movie trade and there’s so many various individuals, however who ought to I go to?
GAEL AITOR: For me it turns into, once more, utilizing Twitter. I suppose determining first, following the manufacturers, after which seeing who’re the individuals commenting on this? Who are the individuals retweeting this? So you go down this rabbit gap of mutuals on mutuals on mutuals. The problem is discovering the individuals, and once more, that simply comes with discovering the tremendous connectors within the trade and likewise those which are simply energetic on social media.
ELAINY MATA: Yeah. Do you agree, Eric? Do you’ve gotten something so as to add to that?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yes, I love that 100%. Everything that Gael shared. The one factor I would add is that each three months there’s a quarterly earnings name. Every three months, this firm shares all the things that they’re engaged on, all the things that’s figuring out nice, all the things that’s not figuring out nice, and what their plans are for his or her 12 months. That is a superb alternative so that you can study in regards to the trade, after which whenever you attain out to those people and say, “Hey, I just heard these things that they were talking about in your last earnings call, can you share with me a little bit more?” Or, “Hey, this sounds like a really exciting project, would love to connect with you so I could learn a little bit more.”
ELAINY MATA: Okay, subsequent query. This is from one in every of our listeners, Anna. She despatched her a query by textual content and he or she says, how are you going to community authentically? I’m an introvert and I usually suppose that networking is a compelled exercise for me.
GAEL AITOR: I imply when you actually wish to strategy it in a really informal approach, you might praise their outfit. You can praise one thing good about them. Maybe you discover the best way they’re interacting with individuals. I suppose an ideal first method to begin it off in a approach that feels natural is an effective praise. And I suppose that type of sparks a dialog that would really feel loads higher than simply, “Hey, what do you do? What’s your name.”
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: For me it will be, once more, possibly within the spirit of the occasion and saying, “Hey, what brought you here?” Or simply sharing, “Hey, I’m excited to do this here.” And generally even simply being as susceptible as effectively saying, “Hey, I understand that we’re here, but why are you here? I might not be that comfortable being here.” You by no means know who you meet, too, that may say, “You know what? I know exactly what you’re going through. I’m going through the same thing.” And hopefully, I imply that goes into one thing else that’s a bit of bit extra productive than simply complaining, however you by no means know when additionally simply being susceptible may additionally spark some extra conversations as effectively.
ELAINY MATA: Okay. And final one, we have now a query from one other one in every of our interns, Diego.
DIEGO ORTEGA: I’m from Mexico, and in Mexico networking is just not as enforced as it’s right here. Eventually individuals who graduate, they may discover a job as a result of, oh, you already know any individual within the firm after which he helped you out or no matter. And right here, from my expertise in faculty, networking may be very compelled upon. It’s like, you’ve gotten this campus recruiting and you need to go and meet all of the individuals which are recruiting at your college. It’s not like deep relationships.
ELAINY MATA: So how do you account for cultural variations in how networking works? How would you reply that query?
GAEL AITOR: I suppose in Mexico, there’s a much bigger sense of just about like a household. An inherent household bond. Because generally I’ll be watching podcasts interviews the place the host is interviewing a extremely large A-list celeb in Mexico, however they actually simply discuss in the event that they had been good buddies. And there’s that sense of familiarity with one another and that bond. And so I suppose there’s a cultural distinction there. I suppose possibly you discover it whenever you join with different Latinos and there’s that sense of, oh, it looks like we’re already buddies. We’re already on good phrases simply due to that.
ELAINY MATA: So how do you account for these cultural variations? Not simply accounting for, let’s say different Latinos within the room, however when you’re making an attempt to speak with or making an attempt to market your self, and also you’re in a multicultural room, how do you try this?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: When it involves multicultural features of issues, you don’t know what you don’t know however be open to studying. And so if there’s completely different customs round completely different communities or completely different cultures, particularly the college, you’re surrounded by individuals with fully completely different backgrounds and fully completely different upbringings. But though y’all all are in that very same college or getting that very same diploma, on the finish of the day, we’re all nonetheless very distinctive. And so embracing that uniqueness, recognizing that uniqueness in one another, however within the spirit of studying,
ELAINY MATA: How have you ever been capable of replenish your social battery in the case of networking so you’ll be able to preserve doing it?
GAEL AITOR: I personally am nonetheless within the means of figuring that out. It looks as if I am horrible at sustaining my shut community and upkeeping it and including new individuals. It’s tough. I imply it’s much more tough whenever you’re not in the identical neighborhood and also you’re not in the identical metropolis. And a thousand instances tougher whenever you’re not coworkers and also you’re on a project-by-project foundation. And for me, a whole lot of my tasks is … I’ve by no means been a part of a group. I’ve by no means had a conventional job within the sense of I have my group, listed below are my mentors, right here’s my teammates, right here’s who I’m going to work with for the subsequent couple of months. That actually builds that basis for a robust community as soon as you progress on in direction of a brand new job. And so for me, it’s been actually obscure methods to discover excuses to remain in contact and construct connections with individuals which are deeper than only a one-off challenge or a one-off name.
ELAINY MATA: Eric, I suppose You’re actually good at sustaining these relationships and I suppose you’ve simply had a lot follow of sustaining. What recommendation would you give to Gael?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yeah, so it’s a few issues. One, checking in with one another. When you’ve gotten an opportunity to be within the skilled house for a while, there’s going to be some great moments and there’s going to be some horrible moments within the trade. What I imply by that’s, we’re going by the tech layoffs for the final 18 months. I’ve identified a whole lot of people which have gone by layoffs. I’ve been by layoffs myself. And so checking in with people that, generally they don’t wish to share publicly that they’re going by this. Just test in. And you’ll be shocked, taking that chance to test in with somebody, it means loads.
ELAINY MATA: Eric, how have you ever been seeing individuals across the age of Gael’s making an attempt to community with you and the way has that been going?
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yeah, I all the time suppose again to … Elainy, I imply you and I, how we acquired launched, and I was reflecting on that. That introduction really began off in 2017 when I met somebody that ended up being our widespread pal.
ELAINY MATA: Oh.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: And then it was by that relationship we began making significant connection and collaborating after which I finally was launched to you. And so that you by no means understand how these introductions, these connections are available, however when you are available simply within the spirit of service and help and serving to elevate others and the work that they’re doing, you’ll all the time discover that path finally to collaborate both straight with them or somebody inside their community.
ELAINY MATA: This has been superior. I hope I can discuss to each of you in a separate setting, simply to proceed maintaining within the spirit of constructing buddies, and see the place that blooms. So I recognize the each of you a lot.
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Thank you a lot.
ELAINY MATA: [foreign language 00:25:11].
ERIC RODRIGUEZ: Yes, thanks a lot.
GAEL AITOR: Thank you. It was superb.
ELAINY MATA: Okay, I wish to level out one factor earlier than we go. This episode isn’t nearly networking, it really solely took place due to networking. I met Gael by my colleague, Ian, right here at HBR. And Ian knew Gael as a result of Gael had reached out to him to speak about podcasting. And I met our different visitor, Eric Rodriguez, as a result of a mutual pal related the 2 of us just a few months in the past. Eric recommended that we arrange month-to-month conferences. We’re each fairly busy now, so that they’re solely about 15 to half-hour, however it’s sufficient to maintain us each accountable and it naturally helps our relationship continue to grow over time. Next week We’ll be speaking about messing up at work and how one can get well. Like utilizing the flawed slides for a presentation, possibly hitting reply all and by accident spamming your entire firm, to larger errors that hurt your credibility and even threaten your job. I’ve accomplished that when. I’ve introduced the flawed slides twice. Thanks once more to our company, Gael Aitor and Eric Rodriguez, and our interns Beatrice Gauthier and Diego Ortega.
