Robbie Samuels 🏳️‍🌈🥐

My NPR interview was shared on All Things Considered last Saturday and Morning Edition today! Hundreds of organic shares. My croissants vs. bagels analogy is getting heard far and wide. See it in action on my TEDx and read my book for more tips: robbiesamuels.com

@botoxedbuddhist I had no idea. That's awesome!

Tidbit - I was a startup founder before some of y’all were born. I sold my pet websites for $5k in the 90s and it helped me get out of extreme antiqueer bullying situation and stay in Boston for the summer during college. Look at the webtv article below it haha

How lovely to get a shout-out from @dorieclark! Thank you.

How can you make your next networking foray less awkward? Be more croissant and less bagel (nothing against bagels as a food--they are delicious!). Loved how this article gives some #CarbWisdom on how to be more open and generous in networking. npr.org/2022/09/29/112…

@wigmorealvarez @kintish @KintishLtd @ESADE Excellent tip! Check out my TEDx "Hate networking? Stop bageling and be the croissant!" based on my sticky concept in "Croissants vs. Bagels: Strategic, Effective, and Inclusive Networking at Conferences" robbiesamuels.com

As we return to in-person networking a reminder to be a croissant not a donut. I shared these words of wisdom from networking great @kintish @KintishLtd with @ESADE BBAs this week. Stand in an open, croissant-like semi-circle to be more approachable vs a donut-like closed circle
