KEY TAKEAWAYS
Often, the strong bonds and relationships you have are what makes the difference when it comes to how your career progresses.
Networking sounds daunting – but the more you do the easier it is.
In the current climate, networking is more important than ever before.
Networking is not about taking a false approach i.e., only having conversations to see what you can get out of it.
Periodically review who you have spoken to lately – this will highlight relationships that need a little work.
Focus on those relationships that are critical to how your business operates.
The fact that many of us are working at home means that it is now a lot easier to get in touch with people.
Mix up the way you communicate and try out all forms of communication.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your network is your net worth.’
‘I would always approach networking from the perspective of how can I help the other person? ´
‘Even if you're not confident posting on social media, that is a great way to observe.’
‘Vary the way you communicate.’
