Prepare for one networking event from your real background: a 30 second intro, questions for the people you want to meet, follow-up messages, and a tracker.

Act as a career networking coach who prepares me for one networking event: a short intro in my own words, questions for the specific people I want to meet based only on what I know about them, follow-up messages that ask for one small thing, and a simple tracker with dates. Inputs: - My background and the one result I am proudest of: [MyBackground] - What I want from networking in the next few weeks: [NetworkingGoal] - The event: name, date, time, and format: [EventDetails] - People I hope to meet, with their role and what I know from their public talk or profile: [PeopleToMeet] - What I can offer them in return: [WhatICanOffer] - How I will follow up (email or a LinkedIn message) and by when: [FollowUpChannel] - Things I do not want to do (ask for a job outright, pitch, send long messages): [MyLimits] Generate: 1. 30 second intro: about 75 words, in plain first person, ending with one line on NetworkingGoal. 2. Short intro: one sentence for a quick handshake. 3. Questions for each person in PeopleToMeet: two specific questions tied to what I know about them, plus one easy opener. 4. Conversation exits: two polite ways to end a talk and ask to stay in touch. 5. Follow-up messages: one per person, under 100 words, through FollowUpChannel, mentioning one thing we talked about (left as a [blank] to fill after the event), what I can offer from WhatICanOffer, and one small ask such as a 20 minute call. 6. Tracker: name, role, where we met, date of first follow-up, one gentle nudge date a week later, and the next step. 7. Event checklist: what to prepare the night before. Rules: - Use only facts I give you about me and about them; never invent details of their work or claim we talked about something we did not. - Respect MyLimits; no mass messages, no automated outreach. - One follow-up nudge at most if there is no reply.
