Take Care of Your Network, and Your Network Will Take Care of You!
Speaker: Jennifer Mond, Director of Organizational Development at the HODGE
Networking can be a daunting task, but so critical to business and life! This tactical presentation will go through the top 10 tips that have worked for me. Here are just a few of the concepts:
Hidden networks are powerful tools for achieving personal and professional goals.
Understanding how networks function and how to leverage them can help you to build stronger relationships, find new opportunities, and achieve success.
Being strategic in your networking efforts, and willing to take calculated risks to achieve your goals.
Building relationships with people you don't know, and how to tap into the power of weak ties to achieve your goals.
Defining your success buckets and making those a priority.
…AND if you're one of those people who hates the word "networking" because it seems a little sleazy, rest assured, we will dig into that too!
