In the book “Never Eat Alone” author Keith Ferrazzi said, “Building a personal network is a prerequisite for career success.” We all rely on others to realize our goals and make our dreams come true. No one can be successful in the long run if they don’t have a mindset of connection and help from others.
Understanding the importance of networking in today’s era, Lady Networking will help you synthesize and select 4 small but extremely practical ways to maintain networking, which are:
1. Don’t go to them when you “need” them
One of the myths surrounding relationship building is that you only find and connect with people when you need them. This is a fatal mistake but unfortunately it is very common. It’s like buying a life jacket when the ship starts to sink. Build relationships today, opportunities will find you. I always believe that the earth is really round.
2. Create value for others
A networker’s job is not just to maintain effective relationships, but also to help and support others. You can help them by sharing useful information, introducing them to others who can help their work, or providing truly valuable advice. Use the phrase “how can I help others” instead of “how can others help me”.
3. Participate in networking events
One of the best ways to find and connect with new people is to participate in networking events. Events such as conferences, parties, or recreational activities can help you connect with people who share your interests and goals. That is why every month, Lady Networking organizes workshops with many different events, to create a playground, a place to exchange and connect the community of women. Please look forward to our upcoming events.
4. Be the most natural version of yourself
It is undeniable that a networker will need to have good communication skills, be energetic and enthusiastic. However, in any field, including networking, honesty and integrity must always come first. Maybe you’re not the best at communicating, you’re not the most agile, but you have a passion for your job, and if you can do what you say, you will definitely succeed and connect with many good relationships.
Lady Networking hopes that this article brings useful information to readers, especially those who have been on the path to building their own careers and communities.
