Everyone wants to build a great network but most people hate networking. Why is it that Networking, one of the most critical of skills, is so disliked and misapplied?
In my interview with Kingsley Aikins we explore all things networking.
Kingsley brings with him his extensive experience as a mega fundraiser, and his work helping countries reconnect with their Disapora. He has worked with the World Bank and UNICEF. Oh and was good friends with the Clintons and the late Nelson Mandela.
In this conversation we discuss:
- the reason networking probably isn't taught in schools
- why introverts make better networkers than extroverts
- how diversity and networking interconnect and depend on each other
- why you must audit your network regularly
- why soft skills are more valuable than hard skills because of AI and robotics
- the theory of marginal gains
- how to use networks to raise a massive amount of funds
It is one of the most value-packed sessions I've ever put out so I think you'll enjoy it.
