Networking: It’s the most effective way to build a career, right? It is if you do it the right way, building trust along with your list of contacts. Tiffany Pham, author of You Are a Mogul, shows you how making connections is just the start. How you treat them is what really matters.
Pham teaches you how to be a giver and not an exploiter, treating your network as a collection of lasting friendships that require nurturing and communication. She shares how networking can help you conquer imposter syndrome by giving you opportunities to show your strengths.
Key Takeaways:
• How to think of networking as building friendships
• Expand - and impress - your network by volunteering your skills
• How to overcome “imposter syndrome” by taking a chance on yourself
• How even the most mundane role can lead to a dream job
• Be a giver in your professional connections, not just an exploiter
• How to keep communication going so your networking lasts
Networking often has a negative connotation to it. The author shows how networking can create value by building a tribe -- people willing to help each other in the areas of their skills and specialty.
This is a short, easily understandable program on networking by a highly qualified author. The biggest takeaway from me is to not be ashamed to ask for help while focusing intently on what you can give people, not what you can get from your network.
