The opportunities won’t find you in the house, necessarily. You have to go outside, meet and greet. Wine and dine. It all makes sense. Dress nice and go outside.
One thing I truly love about your videos is how you go straight to the point, no fluff, no introduction to your channel or who your are (which isn’t a bad thing, it’s just tiring at this point to be honest, at least for me). Also the tone, the honesty of how you come across… it feels refreshing 😊 thanks for your tips!!
I really appreciate this video. Im building the inner strength to put myself out there again after many years of just wilful isolation. 2025 will be a different year as I will be stepping out and meeting new people to expand my networth. Thank you for the reminder gorgeous lady :)
I’m so grateful you’re on TH-cam sharing all of this wisdom. I’ve been in a season of change lately. Unfortunately, no one close to me is interested in doing the hard work to change. I need a different crowd around me for where I’m headed next year and beyond.
I'm gearing up to go back outside and network. I used to years ago and its been great but somewhere along the line I fell back from it. This was a great video with solid advice.
Hi Adama. If there's one person I believe has the experience to make content such as this, it's you! I am hoping to network more next year but maintaining the boundaries around those that tend to overstep. Blessings hun. Love what you do.
I loved this video; I'm starting a chapter of my life full of changes and opportunities, and hearing about your experiences networking makes me enthusiastic and crave real and valuable interaction. You got my subscription, queen.
I can listen to your voice all dayyy. But I am a realtor in Massachusetts/Rhode Island in the USA and all of this is amazing information for us realtors who are trying to network more! Id love a video on the social media presence!
Discovering your channel earlier this year has been one of the best things I've found on TH-cam. I resonate deeply with your content because you don't try to paint a perfect picture of life. Instead, you share how you've navigated your journey and provide actionable steps we can follow to make our ideal dream life a reality. I would love for you to create an in-depth video on consistency and overthinking, as these are two areas I currently struggle with. Thank you for your inspiring content!
I'm so glad you found the channel and that its been something you can resonate with! Consistency and overthinking are good topics- I'll think about how I may make videos around those. Thank you for your kind words and suggestions 🤎
Even before I finish this video I’d like to appreciate you and your channel I have grown so much mentally and I’m inspired to make moves. I just finished my data science bootcamp and now I have created my TH-cam channel not this one. I have multiple passions and interests that I will cultivate . 😊 When my channel grows and hit my personal goals I’ll share again. May God bless you ❤
I appreciate you! Congratulations on completing the bootcamp- I know it must have been challenging and on starting TH-cam. So many exciting things at once. You should be proud! I’m proud you’re part of this community ❤️
This is tremendously beneficial advice. Thank you for this video. I’m a huge introvert and autistic so networking is hard. I really appreciated this video.
Hi Adama, I really love your content 🥰. I discovered your channel this year and I wish I had known about you sooner. As a francophone, I'm working on improving my English speaking skills, and since I found your channel, I listen to your videos every day because I learn a lot from them. Please, do you offer any online workshops to teach speaking skills?
I enjoyed watching this! I just came back from AWS re:Invent and that was networking on steroids, but I was able to balance networking and re-charging my social battery. However, how do you maintain these connections after the events?
How did you find reinvent?? I went last year and it’s definitely intense! Mainly by reaching out, setting up in person or zoom calls and find ways to work with each other afterwards has been super helpful!
@@AdamaLorna Thanks for your advice!! It was my first time going and I enjoyed myself. I got the ABW grant so it was nice meeting people in the beginning stages of their tech journey too
I watched this and immediately bought my ticket for a networking event I have been telling myself I can’t afford to attend. To think it’s only £40🙇🏽♀️
Hi Adama, I have stumbled across your videos a couple of times, and so far I have enjoyed each one. So first off thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. And I am not sure whether you said it in the video, but I my question is where do I start? More like "how". Do I just go on this app and search for events that are of my interests? I have lots of plans, especially for next year and I wanted also to start on a business, and I know networking is important. So I was a bit confused on how and where to start off. Apologies in advance if I missed something in your video😅
Can you do a video on how to OWN 2025 as a 9 - 5 corporate girl who has a side hustle, wants to go the gym 3 x a week, network successfully and date 😂😂
Create a LinkedIn, it’s free and relatively quick to get off the ground! At least that’s somewhere people can get into contact with you. You don’t need a business to network, maybe you’re working a job or planning something business or creative wise! Talk about that 🙏🏾 It’s your world, build it!
@@AdamaLornaWhat do have to say about a college pharmacy student with nothing yet but understands success,how to connect with like minds and network??
I apologize for saying this. But I had hard time following because it felt it was back to back. Is like there no period while talking. My brain is having hard time following, it’s a lot of words at once. I will encourage maybe bullet points on the screen and pause here and there, or period. But thank you for the information.
@@AdamaLornanew viewer here. I came to see how you’d take this feedback and I was very impressed. I’ll subscribe. You care about your viewers and I love that.
Everything you said is pure gold. My life has changed so much in less than a month from going outside and networking with the right people.
The impact and speed is crazy! Thank you 🙏🏾
Same here! Just being around the right people.

I believe in you and your goals for 2025! All the best and thank you!
Thank you for this, I needed the reminder. my intention is to be outside a lot more in 2025!
My fav thumbnail thus far, the beauty is breathtaking😍😍
Thank you!

Not sure how eventbrite never occurred to me as a networking tool. Thank you!!!
I have to definitely agree. I’ve gain the most knowledge and opportunities being outside amongst like minded people.
The power of in person connections!
Finding your TH-cam channel was one of the best things that could come out of 2024 for me. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! 🙏🏾
Your message is very timely ✨ Watching you from Kenya.
Me too lots of love from KE 🇰🇪
Thank you! ❤️
I found you! Omg I'm so happyyyyyy🥺
I just subscribed to your channel. You're just my type of person❤
This was right on time ! I used to be at events all the time and that’s what got me the current success but now it’s time for new levels.
I’m so pleased I found your channel and it was completely by chance. I’m binging your videos and my mind is blown. Do you mentor?
I don't mentor at the moment- I don't have the capacity so I try to use TH-cam to get as much information as I learn out there ✨🤎
This is tremendously beneficial advice. Thank you for this video. I’m a huge introvert and autistic so networking is hard. I really appreciated this video.
Thank you so much for sharing ✨
Your honestly just something else! Thank you for this ❤️
Thank you so much! ❤️
This is the type of content I want on my feed period💯
I needed to hear this!! I’m coming outside 😊😊
Best thing I’ve seen on the internet today ❤
So glad to have met you at AfroTech! Genuine online and in person. I wish you all the best in your next endeavors!
Thank you, it was lovely meeting you too! Wishing you the same 🤎
I love this!
Thank you soo much for this insight
Please talk about how to maintain the relationship built from the events.
Thank you 😊
Noted 🤔 Thank you I needed this yeah I am processing rebranding

This was a great watch.
Thank you so much for the tips ❤
You’re welcome! ❤️
I definitely need a list of these events
Yes, me too
Eventbrite.
Great video! Very informative, thank you!!

This is so good, thank you.
You’re welcome!
Loved this!! I always look forward to your videos 🤭 Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom 💗
Glad you enjoyed it!! 💕
Thank you ❤
Loved this video! 🩷
I watched this and immediately bought my ticket for a networking event I have been telling myself I can’t afford to attend. To think it’s only £40🙇🏽♀️
This makes me more happy than you know! I hope you have a good time at the event! 💕

Can you make a video on how to use LinkedIn to network and find events? Also love your videos!
Yeah I’m thinking of doing some more rebranding content!
Hey francessss❤ can you recommend a canera tripod or better still say the one you're currently using
Great lessons, let’s connect!
Let’s do it 🤝
Great vidéo thank you !
You’re welcome!
As a remote worker (or mostly remote) would you say this (networking outside) how you've built up your community?
🤓Wow, she is right and stunning🤩
Can you do a video on how to OWN 2025 as a 9 - 5 corporate girl who has a side hustle, wants to go the gym 3 x a week, network successfully and date 😂😂
Honestly it feels like a crazy game some times! I’m going to think of a way to do a video on this topic!
How do I do this even if I don't have a website, business yet and am really just starting out with nothing but dreams for success?
Create a LinkedIn, it’s free and relatively quick to get off the ground! At least that’s somewhere people can get into contact with you. You don’t need a business to network, maybe you’re working a job or planning something business or creative wise! Talk about that 🙏🏾
It’s your world, build it!

Still finding an editing balance but I’ll keep that in mind and see how I can add some more text to guide!

It’s me feeling inadequate when I look for networking opportunities in my city
Why do you feel like that?
@ like my skills aren’t up to par, no college degree, etc.
@ and I feel like I’m just late with everything, I’ll be 33 next year
Did I just manifest this video😅
outside??? noooooo there's gotta be another way lol!
😂😂😂
I hear you, but humans still value in person connection 😂
@@AdamaLorna you’re right 😂
