🙏 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

The true value of networking doesn't come from how many people we can meet, but rather how many people we can introduce to others.
