Many people are challenged by the idea of networking as they are uncomfortable putting themselves out there and think that it will require too much effort. Nevertheless, networking is very important and when done properly can be hugely beneficial

In week one, we discussed why networking is so important. This week we are focusing on how to build your network. The first question many people ask is how do I grow my network as I don’t know many people. Knowing where to find contacts for your network is an important first step. 

The phrase “It’s not WHAT you know, but WHO you know” is so true in business. If you really want a successful career, then you need to have a great source of relevant connections in your network that you can call on when you need them.
