Building and maintaining professional networks enhances inspiration and career growth.<\/b><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>

Are you part of a professional network? If yes, you likely have a wide circle of business and social contacts that share with you new ideas and growth opportunities, and are what we call your “board of directors”.

QwikCoach<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>from E-Coach Associates shares that\u00a0“network connections provide critical information, insights, and support that help you or those in your network to learn, grow, and achieve new levels of success and accomplishment”.<\/i>

To get started\u00a0QwikCoach\u00a0suggests to “Take Stock” of your current situation by:
  • Listing all of the people in your current network<\/li>
  • Classify the people on your list\u00a0(ex. innovators, thought leaders, subject matter experts, coaches or mentors, etc)<\/i><\/li>
  • Determine if there are any areas you need to add or strengthen<\/li><\/ul>
    Next,\u00a0Develop A Plan
    • What is your overall approach for building and sustaining your network?<\/li>
    • Ideally you\u2019ll be the recipient of great advice, but also be a “provider” for sharing knowledge and advice<\/li>
    • What do you need to be both a recipient and provider? Utilize social media, attend or speak at conferences, attend industry events, become a mentor or acquire one, etc<\/li><\/ul>
      Then,\u00a0Execute Your Plan
      • What\u2019s working well?<\/li>
      • Have you successfully connected with those you want in your network?<\/li>
      • What more can be done to achieve the results you\u2019re working towards?<\/li>
      • Keep track of progress and obstacles<\/li><\/ul>
        Lastly,\u00a0Maintain, Refine, and Build Your Network
        Ask yourself:
        • Is your network helping you become and stay energized?<\/li>
        • Are you learning more about yourself and the industry you work in?<\/li>
        • How are you helping others achieve their goal?<\/li>
        • Do you need to change your approach, goals, or develop a different mindset?<\/li><\/ul>
          It\u2019s also beneficial to maintain relationships with past co-workers\/customers\/bosses, and utilize your “board of directors” so you are positioned to obtain impactful feedback along with growth and career opportunities.

          Happy networking!

          Sincerely,<\/div><\/div>

          Mike and Jan<\/p><\/div>

          Effective networking isn’t a result of luck – it requires hard work and persistence.
