How to Network: Leading Yourself to Lead Others

  • Date: 08/09/2024 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM  

It’s not good enough to be good at what you do. You also have to be good at accessing opportunities that will enable you to do the work you do best and the work that is meaningful to you. That’s where networking comes in. Networking is the “how to” of leadership, enabling you to connect and build relationships with others who have the opportunities that you seek. And networking can happen anywhere.

 

Highlights:

Networking is not about what you know or who you know. Networking is about who knows you.

Before others can know you, you have to first know yourself – you have to be clear about your purpose. What would you like to accomplish (that you require the support of others) and why is this important to you?

Once you are clear on your purpose and the opportunity you seek, you can pursue strategic networking – the alignment between clarity of purpose and clarity of opportunity.
