Some people relish the opportunity to boldly work the room, introduce themselves to strangers, and find common career ground--but for many others, the experience is awkward, or even terrifying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The common networking advice for introverts are variations on the theme of overcoming or \"fixing\" their quiet tendencies. But Karen Wickre is a self-described introvert who has worked in Silicon Valley for thirty years.
