EP42她約我去迪士尼（下）

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.

EL MERCADO DE LA GRAN TENOCHTITÁN.

El Mercado de la  “Gran Tenochtitlán”, era el lugar donde se reunían las cosas, almacenando alimentos, animales, objetos y una gran diversidad de productos. Este  centro comercial prehispánico estuvo ubicado en Tlatelolco, ciudad fundada en 1338 por los tlatelolcas, tribu mexica que se separó de los tenochcas, fundadores de Tenochtitlan y estaba situada en un islote al norte de esta ciudad dentro del lago de Texcoco. Su tianguis era el corazón de un hormiguero multiétnico, un centro de reunión e intercambio cultural al que comerciantes -conocidos como pochtecas- provenientes de toda la geografía mesoamericana e individuos, especializados en el comercio a larga distancia entre las distintas regiones que integraban el imperio mexica, e incluso más allá de sus fronteras, acudían a vender sus mercancías, así como a comunicar noticias recogidas durante sus largos trayectos. Esto incluía la información militar, ya que frecuentemente los comerciantes desempeñaban las funciones de embajadores, emisarios e incluso espías, que describían los ricos territorios que fueran propicios para futuras guerras de conquista. El gran tianguis de Tlatelolco se ubicaba al suroeste del área que conocemos como el Templo Mayor de la ciudad; operaba en un gran espacio al aire libre donde se reunían compradores y vendedores; habían alrededor numerosas habitaciones que eran utilizadas como bodegas y depósitos, siendo considerado el modelo prototipo de mercado en Mesoamérica. Su fama deriva de la gran impresión que dejó en los conquistadores españoles, quienes le consignaron en sus crónicas. Cuando los españoles llegaron a la cuenca del Valle de México en 1520, Tlatelolco era el eje del comercio y la economía en el Anáhuac por encontrarse en los linderos de la ciudad de México-Tenochtitlán.
