Most people avoid reaching out to their existing network because it feels transactional, like they’re only showing up when they need something. But networking done well isn’t a transaction. It’s a relationship that develops over time, and the messages that land are the ones that treat it that way. Whether you’re searching for a job, keeping your career on track, or opening the door to what’s next, this session breaks down how to activate the network you already have. Practical, specific, and built for the messages you’re going to send this week.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Getting “your network” into an actionable approach
- How to reach out and how not to, e.g., “just checking in”
- How to keep and grow the momentum
