Networking...
Els De Schaepmeester
Just this past week I received a message from an old friend, thanking me for supporting their work on social media (you know who you are! J). Now, why wouldn’t I ?!? I really enjoy encouraging and promoting the people that I know, inside and outside of my industry.
There are very few individuals in this world who entirely make it on their own. Persistence, dedication and a good dose of hard work are key components for long-term success. But it’s an illusion to think that we achieve this purely on our own merit.
Expanding your network shouldn’t just be about the things ‘you’ can get out of it, or about what someone can do for ‘you’. More often the power lies in genuinely connecting, understanding each other, as well as learning and growing together. After all, safe connections enable people to do groundbreaking work.
Taking a different approach will enable you to accept help from someone else, but it will also train you in being of service to others in ways that can really impact the world.
Something to keep in mind the next time you’re at a networking event…
