How to Establish and Expand Your Professional Network
March 27, 2025
Coach Ric started the 2025 Lunch Coaching sessions with a slide that reminded me that human nature is at the core of communications – people would connect for 3 reasons: they like/believe in you, they like/believe in your cause, or ROI. There were many questions whe we discussed what lies at the heart of networking. Ric also shared some practical networking formulas and tips.
Overall, networking is not about having answers ready but about having the right attitude and an open heart. If you don’t have an answer to a question – whether it is about sports you are unfamiliar with or local politics – you can always ask the other person’s point of view. Find the slides here, and join our conversation and discussion next month (April 24th) live if you missed it this time. Register the series here.
You can find the notes and materials for topics we covered in 2024 here. We covered Effective Presentation, Meeting Facilitation, Workplace Negotiation, Performance Review, and Small Talk etc.
