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.

🙏 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.

As I excitedly prepare to spend the day with many marketers in London, this resonates. A key component of my role is, and will always be, to create the channels, platforms, and opportunities for my customers to connect, grow, and learn from one another. If I am not helping you succeed and celebrating your success, I am not delivering on my goals and promise. #peoplebeforeprofessionals #customerledgrowth #customerexperience #customerengagement

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.
