Networking actually works. You can meet new people, build meaningful connections and create new opportunities. Here's how to network effectively: Connect with at least 3 new people everyday. That could be via LinkedIn or other social media platforms. It could also be reaching our to someone who's content you regularly read. Share what you admire or like about their work, their role, their content. Why are you wanting to connect? Talk about an interesting article, blog, podcast - and share it with them. Make sure it is something which aligns with their role and could be valuable to them Give them value. It sounds selfish but... People want to know what you can do for them - that's how you can start an effective connection. So remember, think about the other person.

John Watson and Rudolf Rautenbach explore the concept of networking up or connecting with others at a new level. They emphasizes the importance of networking with people above your current level to accelerate your progress and open up new opportunities. This requires a different mindset and approach, including being uncomfortable, having a plan, and being mindful of the right time and place for conversations. They also highlight the value of building relationships with PAs and secretaries and the power of asking for connections to higher-level individuals. The conversation concludes with the reminder to consistently do your current job well while looking for ways to network UP!

Are we getting more connected or more disconnected❔ In a world where we’re meant to be more connected than ever, I increasingly hear people say they feel lonelier than ever, it’s hard to meet people, hard to make friends and hard to start conversation which is really sad. One of the reasons for starting a podcast and being part of the LI community was to help others forge connections, meet new people and collaborate. One thing I’m going to start working on is getting to know my network and podcast followers much better. Through this platform I’ve been able to: ·       Make new friends ·       Upskill ·       Expand my network of go to people for certain specialisms ·       Start The Delivery Space space podcast and meet my Co-host Nisha ·       Participate in voluntary work ·       Be presented with speaking opportunities and new client work I do think it’s one way amongst many that people can collaborate & form meaningful connections, if prepared to take some small steps. Let me know your thoughts? How do you connect with new people? #connection #network #opportunity
