Listen "Episode 4: Networking Relationships"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine being at a networking event; someone introduces themself to you and within 30 seconds of meeting, hands you a business card and starts going on and on about what they do. How would you feel? Would you be good with it or would it turn you off?In this episode, I talk about why the traditional way we’ve been taught to network just doesn’t work and how it fails to support authentic connections. I share how the goal of networking should be about creating genuine relationships instead of passing out business cards. I also talk about the concept of “like, know, and trust” and how it’s the foundation of every relationship.What is your personal experience with networking relationships?
