This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.
In this episode, I discuss why networking remains critical to building your career and that it needn't be something you fear.
Chapter Summary:
- Communities have never been more important.
- Finding your tribe creates tremendous collaboration and learning opportunities.
- It’s essential to maintain relationships with your ‘weak ties’ to develop a broader range of opportunities.
- Aspiring for reciprocity helps you identify your value and create inspiring possibilities with others.
- Formal communities provide support and guidance when changing careers or entering new industries.
- Preparing a financial runway gives you options when pivoting your career – many people aim for 6-months of flexibility.
- Technology facilitates new ways of nurturing relationships and enabling your network to become a committed community of supporters.
