Networking... 

HOW SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO IT

 

As you advance in your career, you have more experience and more connections to draw on for networking. But chances are you’ve also become a lot busier — as have the really successful people you’re now trying to meet. How do you get the attention of people who get dozens of invitations per week and hundreds of emails per day? And how do you find time to network with potential new clients or to recruit new employees when your calendar is packed?

 

The typical advice that’s given to entry-level employees — Invite people to coffee! Connect with them on LinkedIn! â€” simply doesn’t work for people at the top of their careers. Instead, you need to leverage an entirely different strategy, something I call “inbound networking.”

 

The article 'How Successful People Network with Each Other' by Dorie Clark was featured in the Harvard Business Review. Read the original article here.

ONE-QUESTION GENDER EQUALITY QUIZ
 
Surprised by the answer? Other country's have made advances to surpass the US in quality of living, opportunity, social justice and women's rights. In the new Michael Moore film Where to Invade Next, Moore takes on many of these topics, including women on corporate boards, and highlights how gender equality in the boardroom is thriving in Iceland. Click here for a preview of this extremely eye-opening film, which is released theatrically on February 12th. We hope the film inspires the US to do better and challenges more boards to diversify.

Q&A WITH SHEILA RONNING
 
Networking is key to getting a board seat, whether it is your first seat or an additional one.  For some of my tips on how to network, listen to this BlogTalk Radio segment.  Also, join me on February 18th for a more in-depth discussion during our webinar 'How to Network Yourself Into a Corporate Board Seat'.  I would love to hear what your best networking tips are. You can let me know your tips here. I will be sure to share my favorite ones during the webinar.  One of my tips is to "Be fearless, sincere, honest, and frank". I feel strongly about this not only in networking but  also in life. 
 
This month, I was honored to be featured in the Women in Business Q&A for the Huffington Post.  The Q&A focused more on my personal journey than WIB.  I dedicate the article to my beautiful Mother and as I state in the article "I think that growing up with a Mom who never complained about her situation but rather went after what she needed, taught me that instead of talking about how unfair life can be that you need to make the life you want happen for yourself." You can view the article here.
