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!
