Why do we network? How do we help others? Early in my career, J. Gregory Driscoll emphasized the value of networking, noting how it offers us insights, perspectives, and the wisdom from others’ successes and mistakes. Leveraging others’ experiences is crucial when facing challenges, and it’s rewarding to know our own experiences can help others in return. When we aim to assist others, we often ask, “How can I help you?” While well-intentioned, this open-ended question can be difficult to answer and might not yield the specific information needed. Recently, Chris Fazio from Attolon Partners suggested a more effective approach: “What keeps you up at night about your job, company, or career?” This question is more specific, making it easier to provide actionable help based on a clear understanding of the person’s concerns.
