Becoming an effective networker should be a part of your strategy when working toward personal and professional success. It should not, however, be your only strategy. Your short-term goal should be focused on creating connection through effective networking, but your long-term goal should be focused on strengthening those newly created relationships. Only by strengthening those relationships, will you be able to build of a community of support that will help you to sustain and drive personal and professional success by developing and improving your professional skills; keeping you current in your field; gaining access to hidden job leads; and finding possible mentors and mentees, and clients.
In this session, Lisa Lang will challenge everything you thought you knew about networking and building community as she presents this material using her “Why this, Not that” format she first made popular on LinkedIn. She will cover everything from how to build the best community for you to what can you expect from that community.
