Beyond the Business Card: How to Redefine & Reinvigorate Networking for a Thriving Career
Monday, May 4 • 2:30pm – 3:15pm
A network is not an umbrella—you don’t just reach for it on a rainy day. In fact, if you wait until it’s raining, there’ll be nothing to reach for. Your personal and professional network is perhaps the greatest investment of your career—because no matter what job, opportunity or business you’re interested in, you can’t achieve success without someone else’s help. And while awkward social interactions and business-card exchanges have come to define what we think of as networking, it can be far more valuable if you know how to do it — right. Terri Trespicio believes that you must reframe your approach to networking to see any benefits. Rather than “always be closing,” she believes you should always be opening—yourself and your network up to new people and relationships.
Main Take- Aways:
- Defuse the underlying fears lurking in every networking encounter
- Keep your network thriving, no matter where you are in your career
- Talk about who you are without undermining your authority or bragging
- Create an authentic connection with someone new
- Initiate meaningful follow ups that cement relationships and open opportunities
- Turn every interaction into one worth having—and each new person into a potential colleague, contact or friend
