After a recent speech, an audience member asked me a question I've never considered: "What's the difference between 'approachability' and 'working a room'?"
Great question. And I think there's a major distinction between the two. Let's start with the latter.
Picture This: You're hanging out by the entrance at a networking event. Your friend standing next to you lightly elbows your shoulder and says, "Hey, look at that guy in the blue suit - boy, he's really working the room tonight!"
How would someone like that make you feel?
