ABOUT
This isn’t your grandpa’s networking.
What if you stopped networking and instead started building intentional, authentic relationships?
What if you made building authentic relationships a part of your weekly and monthly goals? What if you met cool people just for the sake of meeting cool people, and you allowed yourself to see where it takes you?
At One Hello, we discourage “networking” for the sake of leverage and, instead, help you focus on building real relationships.
When networking feels less transactional and more like it should (like it’s enriching our lives), that’s the sweet spot!

    Who has time to just hang out in public hoping that you might make friends. I am 58 and have never made a friend from a business that i supported. Most of us don't have the option of working from a coffee shop. Remember your life experiences are the exception not the rule. P.S. Your wrong churches have not changed, they are still breading grounds for toxic people.

      Great question. No, I don’t have a course on it and I struggle with it to. Honestly as of now I’ve learned to nurse my wounds and then get up and try again because the possible benefits are greater than the rejection so it’s worth the risk. But man rejection is hard. I’ll try and do an episode on it soon.

    Somewhere you can see someone on a weekly basis at least. you get to "know" each other. And actually build relationships. Vs at bar / club or event a quick event. Your there boom next time they are somewhere else. This is why relationships can develop at work. You get to be around someone and get a feel for them rather than a stranger on the st.

    I agree with the first two reasons. But #3, yes there are times you don't know what to say, such as giving advice. Then just say that you are not comfortable giving advice, and either suggest someone who could (clear that first with the person) or say I will get back to you on that one, let me put something together for you. I guess what I am saying is just acknowledge the person in some way.

      I completely agree that that is the right thing to do but I’m sharing from experience that sometimes we don’t always do the right thing. Which I’m not proud of. However I want those who send emails and don’t hear back to know it’s not their fault!

    I remember you made a video before about loneliness and hybrid working and I read the comments and people were saying hybrid is great because they have more time to spend with their friends and family or they can avoid the toxicity of their office. My family also reap the benefits of hybrid working because there's always someone at home to keep an eye on and care for my elderly grandma. But I think people forget that not everyone has friends and family that they can easily visit and also, not every office is toxic. I heard this suggestion from someone and don't remember it well, but if you and your friend have the same work-at-home days, you could gather at one person's house and work there. If you need to take a call, you can go into another room etc. I've never tried this before (and it's not my idea!) but I think it would work because you're having the social interaction with your friends and working as well, sort of making your own office. I think the only issue is if you work on confidential stuff that can't be shared with other people
