How to put Networking to work for you!
PUT NETWORKING TO WORK FOR YOU
Success is about establishing and
maintaining relationships. Effective networking is essential to
advance your career, build your business, or find new employment
Harvey MacKay, author of Dig Your Well
Before You are Thirsty, gives an essence of building an effective network.
MacKay say's it's a lifetime of:
1. Caring about people.
2. Learning about them.
3. Asking what you can do for
someone else.
According to MacKay, networking is a
PROCESS that includes deciding to network and avoiding pitfalls.
It's a skill anyone can learn and master.
Remember: MacKay's approach places
the focus of networking on serving other people and genuinely caring about
them. Many networkers believe networking is about collecting
business cards and forcing themselves upon others. This approach
doesn't work. An old adage applies here: "People don't
care how much you know until they know how much you care." In
today's economy you never know when you might need a friend.
