From the course: 21 Opportunities for Better Networking
Ask around for contacts
- Some of the best ideas for networking come from just listening to what other successful people are doing. Some of those little masterminds and private dinners are not exclusive. They're just hard to find. As you start listening and asking your colleagues for input on cool networking ideas, you might also find some really bad ideas. Just because someone else does it doesn't make it a good idea. Be sure you ask how effective that activity is, and if you sense that the idea is just going to waste your time and not result in genuine connections, then move on.
