Great Networking by Alisa Grafton

I’m happy to report that the strategy worked! 🎉 Running #masterclasses on #networking and being a speaker on networking means that I have to keep my art in a tip-top condition… #LondonNetworking is all about engaging with a #cosmopolitan crowd interested in a huge array of topics, so it can be a tough field to navigate. But on the other hand… Once you can work the room of star politicians and their supporters (as well as opponents), you earn yourself a HUGE star ⭐️, and a little pat on the back.. And you know what? I really enjoyed it, too 😊 #networking #socialanxiety #firstimpression #connectionbuilding

“Networking is such a waste of time”, declared a former colleague once. He was known for being in love with the sound of his own voice, though 😉 But is #networking really a waste of time? Better ask someone who’s found a dream job, a friend for life, a mentor and brilliant, loyal clients through getting to know people at various networking events. It all depends on HOW you network. True! 👍🏻 🌟 For networking coaching and masterclasses, speak to me at www.AlisaGrafton.com 🌟 Great Networking by Alisa Grafton #Greatnetworkingtalks #FoundationsofNetworking #dreamjob #findingclients

I once had a boss who liked to stand by the reception desk and to greet everyone arriving with an irritated glance at his watch. "They should all be sitting at their desks by now, answering their phones", he would utter indignantly. "Erm, they all have their mobiles on them...", someone would attempt to pitch in. "Well, it doesn't matter", the boss would cut off. "A rule is a rule". Most people thought "the rule" to be silly in the context of the 21st century, and his reaction outdated and unhelpful: everyone knew even then that people worked harder when they were not #chainedtotheirdesks. Fast forward to now, and here's what I read the other day in a #GenZedder's post...

Even for us, the ancient #GenXers, let alone the #Boomers, there are few things that evoke more irritation that someone who is "delighted to announce" or "humbled to share". For everyone's sake, people, just talk like you do in real life! However, it is the alternative that presents a problem. How are we supposed to let others know that we did well? That we have won an award? That we are recognised professionally? That we ATE IT, you know. Because surely our online success should greatly outshine our real-life success - that is the point of the social media. Right? Read on to learn a closely kept secret of doing things online with #authenticity 🌞 Your #ConnectingwithGenZ #newsletter will be taking a break for a couple of weeks.
