🙏 Networking is about giving… Networking isn't about collecting connections or growing a network to receive. The value of networking is about contributing, creating a community, building meaningful relationships, and helping others to grow... How can you help your network to network? · Introduce connections with a personalized message · Share job posts · Offer guidance and support · Celebrate accomplishments · Focus on the journey, not the destination · Recommend helpful resources · Become a mentor · Support networking events · Stay in touch with your connections - say hello 👋 · Listen and be there to support 🌱 Building a community takes time. It won't happen overnight, but if you nurture your connections and stay in touch, those relationships will grow. #careers #networking #gratitude #motivation #community #skills

Are you leveraging the power of a network to ensure your success? The statement made by Simon Sinek so admirably captured the essence of networking. It emphasizes the fact that networking is not just about how many people we meet, but how many people we genuinely connect and build a genuine relationship. It's not about quantity but quality. Networking is building genuine mutually beneficial relationships. Building genuine relationships requires time, effort and commitment. Networking is not about just connecting people. It's about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities. Pulling a good network together takes effort, sincerity and time. To summarise, why do we need to network? Short answer : 1 Resources for Business Deals, Alliances, Jobs. 2. Safety net in a rapidly changing business world. 3. Less time to be an expert. Networking helps you to meet people at all professional levels. Networking boosts your professional confidence. Networking has been cited as the number one unwritten rule of success in business. Last but not the least, networking contributes to your social well-being among many other benefits. Hence, leverage the power of networking to ensure your success. #networkinggoals #networkinaction #socialsaturdaysquad Simon Sinek's The Optimism Company

* Happy #SocialSaturday #OpentoConnect * Be a leader. Network now and build exponential meaningful relationships. Solid advice from Simon Sinek. He’s hit the nail on the head really hard. ✅ I have many great examples that led to meaningful connections, speaking at conferences, free signed book copies, call with CEOs and a great LinkedIn recommendation. All these with people I have never met in real life. This is the power of personal branding and LinkedIn / social media. In addition to what Simon Sinek mentioned, 🟡 Keep learning, keep improving, keep executing, keep sharing the knowledge, keep recruiting others to join your unique personal branding journey together. Repeat. 🟡 Do this as a team and influence others to discover their unique potential. This has been my journey and how I became LinkedIn Personal Branding Top Voice in 12 months.

The true power of networking lies not in the quantity of connections we forge, but in the quality of bridges we build.

Yes! What Simon said. Shift the focus from 'me' to 'we' in networking! Today, be the matchmaker in your professional circle. Connect two people who can ignite each other's potential or have the potential to. It's not just networking, it's community-building. Who will you connect today? Or who’s someone you’d love to connect with? It’s okay to ask. If you need tips on how to introduce people DM me. I’m the Queen of connecting.

This is so spot on! At Cluster Executive Search, we believe in the transformative impact of meaningful connections. It's not about the sheer number of contacts but the depth of relationships we foster. Introducing someone to a valuable connection can be a game-changer, creating a ripple effect of opportunities. 🌟 #networking #Cluster

It is all about relationships, trust, integrity and mutual respect

Be a connector of resources.

Absolutely! Networking is not just about collecting contacts or connections; it's about creating meaningful relationships and facilitating connections among others. When we introduce people to each other, we're not only helping them grow and succeed, but we're also strengthening our own network in the process. It's a win-win situation that highlights the true essence of networking – building a community of support and collaboration.🤝💼 #Networking #RelationshipsMatter #Coaching #coachingbusiness

#collaboration is set to be the difference between a prosperous future and the death of the planet. #technology is advancing ever forward, but until we learn to work as a global team, it’s only 50% of the solution. Hard not to share every piece of wisdom from Simon Sinek, but this message needs to be broadcast. This is something every one of us can keep in mind to make a contribution towards a collaborative future. #team #planeta #sustainability
