Episode 013: Network Audit [CAREER]

Doing a network audit starts by taking a look at who you spend the most time with. If you are indeed the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with, do those 5 people have the same values, goals, and ambitions? Most importantly, do they exhibit the behaviours and habits that you need to get to those goals? Look to spend more time with the folks that are aligned with your future goals, and less time with those that don't.

Then take a look at the people that you know surrounding those goals. Are they in the industry, companies and domains that you want to get in to?
If so, then build those meaningful connections.
If not, then make those connections and look to make them meaningful.

You can be proactive about the people you know and whom you interact with.

Episode 011: Networking and Building Meaningful Connections - Deeper Dive [CAREER]

It's not what you know, it's who you know. A common piece of wisdom when speaking about success in the world. I further the quote by saying "it's not who you know, but who knows you" that can be all of the difference. How many connections do you have on LinkedIn? Now how many connections, that if you messaged them, might actually respond and help with your request. That's the difference when people know you.

We outline our process of networking called BMC = Building Meaningful Connections.

It starts with making CONNECTIONS. You can reach out and connect even if you're shy and an introvert. We share some thoughts and insights on doing so.
Now that we've connected, how do we make the relationships more MEANINGFUL? Often times it starts by being curious, interested, and most importantly looking to add value.
So you've made a meaningful connection, how do you BUILD on them? The easiest way I found was to schedule it. Make sure that you'll allocate time to connect with folks. Make those connections a priority. Then practice with the purpose of getting better!
