You Don't Need To Follow The Crowd To Build Something That Works with Carmen Taubman
Description
Feel like networking is a drain, not a driver of growth? You’re not imagining it.
In this episode, Shelley sits down with Carmen Taubman, founder of Crew, to unpack why traditional networking feels broken—and what actually works instead. This is a real conversation about building something different in a crowded space, backing yourself when people question it, and learning to trust your way of doing business.
They go beyond surface-level advice and get into courage, conviction, pricing, and the truth about confidence.
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before you put yourself out there, this one will challenge that.
What you’ll take away:
- Rethink networking and focus on meaningful, strategic connections
- Build confidence by taking action, not waiting for it
- Back your ideas even when they go against the norm
If the idea of networking feels terrifying a really great place to start is with me own free global on lone monthly networking session for women in business.
