Startup of You: How to network effectively and grow your career

Many professionals are turned off by the idea of “networking.” They think it’s about slimey glad-handing and using others to get ahead. But when pursued with an eye toward leveraging your skills and experiences to help other people succeed, building a professional network becomes something else entirely - a chance at authentic human connection that can fuel enriching relationships and create opportunities over decades.
On this episode of the Startup of You Podcast, Reid and Ben break down three common misconceptions about how professional networks function, while also deep-diving on two types of relationships that are essential for success: “Allies” (close collaborators) and “Friendlies” (acquaintances).

It feels a bit weird to hear about something I was always doing just as my heart told me as a sort of startegy for networking 😅 actually, the funny part is that you can feel when someone does it because wants something from you 🤔 I would start from working on oneself and truly tuning into heart with a mission to help others, then everything flows naturally and is wonderful to oberve how people connect to create more impact 💫
