10 Tips for networking success

Leave a comment

Networking can feel daunting for many. The idea of walking up to strangers at an event to spark up a conversation may fill the average person with panic, anxiety and could give them clammy hands.

Here are some tips to help you along your way:

Breathe
Take a deep breath and relax. Remember if you’re at a networking event everyone present is there for the same reason as you: to network and make connections. Try doing some deep breathing exercises to help you calm down: breathe in on the count of four, hold for the count of four and slowly release your breath for the count of four.

Attend events
There are events for every industry, be it tradeshows, meet-up events, conferences, breakfast seminars or lunch events. They all provide great networking opportunities. Make sure you are researching and attending relevant events to make new contacts.

Interact online
Don’t forget there are plenty of opportunities to network online via social platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook where you can find various groups with which to engage. There is also Instagram and Twitter, where you can participate in chats such as ‘#Bizhour’ which provide an opportunity to network with others from around the world.

Be visible
There’s no point going to a networking event and then hiding in the corner. Let your presence be known –go and introduce yourself and don’t forget to take your business cards. Remember to note down your new contacts.

9 to 5 work rebels on Youtube channel

Leave a comment

So I’ve decided to finally join and upload videos on to youtube. I always advise clients to provide content in a variety of ways, as we all like to consume content differently. Some prefer to read, others like to see, or hear. So I’m taking my own advice so I can share my thoughts and tips for freeing yourself from the 9-5 as well as touching on other topics.

Subscribe and share – the title of my new channel is  9to5workrebels – if you have any questions or subjects you’d like me to cover let me know.
