Building a Supportive Professional Network
The key to unlocking the next level of your career isn’t just about working harder; it’s about connecting smarter. Last week on the podcast, I talked about stepping up in your career, and today, I want to talk about one of the ways to do that: building supportive relationships. In today’s world, networking goes beyond merely exchanging business cards or LinkedIn connections. It’s about building meaningful, strategic relationships that open the doors to new career possibilities. This week on Journeys Through Change, I am talking about building a supportive professional network.

In this episode, I discuss:
- The shift from transactional to transformational networking and how adding value to others can benefit you long-term.
- Identifying those "next level" connections that align with your career goals and strategies.
- Innovative ways to show up where your dream connections are, including industry conferences and online communities.
- The "give first" approach to strengthening relationships by offering value before making requests.
- Mastering the art of warm outreach to foster effective and genuine connections.
- Using content as a magnet for the right connections and nurturing your network consistently to ensure it's strong and beneficial when opportunities arise.
Strong networks are built before you need them. Keep relationships warm by checking in with people regularly. Even in the smallest of ways, a well-maintained network ensures you're top of mind when the right opportunity arises.
Change is inevitable. That’s why I designed the Day by Daybook®, a guided journal to help you face the discomfort of those shifts in life that are pushing you to that next level of growth and learning. Get your Day by Daybook® here.
