Do you lament the 'strength' of your current network? You aren't alone! A lot of women struggle to network but let's talk about changing all that because your network can become the biggest asset of your career and it might surprise you how quickly you can build it too!
In this episode...
- I am sharing some reframes to help you think about 'networking' differently and hopefully make it much easier to do!
- I am sharing 3 ways to start building your network, regardless of whether you have a 'strong' network or not and regardless of where you are right now in your career
- I am sharing some practical scripts to frame any initial networking conversations - to make those initial meetings flow
- And... I am giving you a simple email script to share with your own contacts to help them introduce you to people in their networks
