Mali Phonpadith interviews Lori Saitz of The Quiet Girls. When she was a child, Lori Saitz’s report card regular said, “Lori is very bright but she needs to learn how to speak up in class.” In 2003, she launched Zen Rabbit Baking Company and introduced the world to The Gratitude Cookie. Upon starting that business, she forced herself to go to networking events and endured many awkward conversations in hopes of meeting clients. Eventually, after spending thousands of dollars and stomach-churning hours, she figured out how to comfortably manage networking situations. Today, she is known as The Quiet Girl’s Guide and she not only feels comfortable meeting new people, she actually enjoys it. As a networking strategy coach and speaker, she helps other “quiet girls” get past the fear of networking so they can find success. http://www.thequietgirls.com LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorisaitz Do you feel awkward, uncomfortable and anxious in networking situations?

As a kid, that often meant she didn’t feel like she belonged anywhere. As an adult, that desired to explore more than one box, has been a gift. She has lead organizations in the nonprofit, public, and corporate sectors, dealing in everything from cosmetics to energy efficiency to human services. She gets to bring the best of one sector to bear in another, and she understands the crazy things that are pervasive across them all. Over her career, she has been led by, and even been, the overwhelmed frantic executive; the controlling, people-pleasing, diva-martyr. It may get stuff done, but it is soul-killing for the team and the leader. For her, it created the need and the opportunity to look back
