I particularly noticed, when I lived in LA, how apparently effortlessly so many Americans launched into networking, where many Brits still wait to be introduced or, at the very least, feel uncomfortable promoting themselves.

They're really funny". Trouble is, the Disney people didn't realise I was kidding, so much so that, on my way out, a development girl took me aside and discreetly handed me a business card while whispering "If you continue to have self-esteem issues, you should see my shrink - he's fabulous!"
