1. I think yes – if the work can carry their voice 💯🔥 Maybe it could be used to an advantage, like Banksy who makes work silently. But being confident and heard in the sector helps to be noticed. Fake it till you make it as they say!
2. Yes 🙌 once you start to talk about your passion you gain momentum and confidence even if it’s for only the moment you need it. 🔥 Recharge your batteries and do it all again a continuous cycle. That’s how it is for me 😂
3. As someone who can be shy/socially awkward, I hope so. It’s really sold that it’s networking that helps you get noticed and gets you contacts 😖😖
