10 to Win - Networking Part I

Networking is changing. The overall concept remains the same but the way in which we do it and how we connect has changed rapidly. In my personal opinion, these changes are going to stick around for years to come. Listen in to hear my thoughts on the new landscape of networking and what you should focus on to make authentic and relevant connections.

The pandemic of 2020 and 2021 has effectively opened our eyes to new ways of connecting. Thank goodness the technology already existed for us to continue interacting virtually, but now people the world over actually know how to use that technology.

Which is why I don’t believe full on in-person networking with large conferences and massive meetups will ever be a thing. Instead, I think we’re moving to a more hybrid world of networking. Yes there will still be in-person events, but I think they’ll be smaller and include a virtual option.

That being said, you still need to employ the three “Be’s” of networking. These days your connections are even more important and you’re making them in a whole new way. You need to be intentional, be about community, and be engaging.

Networking is a long game. Be prepared to create real connections with people who are excited to support and that you want to support.
