Each of us might experience temporary or permanent personal limitations that impact our ability to network. These don’t have to stop us altogether, however. Debby and Greg discuss their own limitations (mild hearing impairment) among others and offer ideas on how to work around the challenges they might present. Thank you to Linda Sattler for sparking the conversation.
