How to network is something that all emerging leaders need to master (or re-master) as we may have lost practice over the past couple of years. As we move slowly back to more in-person events and conferences, I thought it timely to refresh your memory on networking etiquette tips and how to network in business.
I know that many of you are probably daunted by networking events. Common struggles I've helped people with are: How to start a conversation? How to shake hands? And should you eat at a networking event? I address all these questions and more in this video.
How to network is something that should be taught in college or professional development courses. But unfortunately, it isn't. What's sure is that if you spend some time watching this video to improve your networking skills and learn how to network with confidence, you'll put yourself ahead of your competition. And set yourself up for career and leadership success!
Watch this video now and learn how to network with poise and confidence!

Asking good questions is a great way to build rapport.

We are all human. Human beings need to eat. If the event has food, EAT the food. You can take a few minutes to eat the finger food, go to the bathroom check for crumbs and wash your hands. Then return to networking.

Hi Kara - I love your practical videos and they are super helpful- so first of all- a big thank you 😊. I wanted to request if you could do a video on interviews- I’m an excellent worker but fumble a lot at interviews especially competency based interviews where examples need to be shared. Also I tend to forget what I’ve prepared when I see all those interviewers around me. Would be Grateful for your valuable tips. Thank you.

So how do you handle a situation where people you want to network with do not want to network with you because they have heard this wonderful tip about talking only with those who advance your career.

@evanjones42 Ай бұрын

That’s just rejection. It happens in every area of life. Take it in stride and go on until you find a match.

Well, question was sarcastically rethoric. She gives a networking advice that will work against those who use it.

@vinokrish4551 11 күн бұрын

You’re right @heavestlus8764 but there are also people who wants to help others as well. Also it is not only taking from others, you also have to give. It works two way only. Till one think selfishly alone, can’t come out of this thought.

I have another problem with networking. I find it so hard to maintain relationships. I don't know how to strike a second conversation after we've introduced. I don't know when can I be of service, it's so difficult to appear not pushy. I know part of me think it is exhausting to randomly approach and socialise with acquaintances, too.

@StephanieD-xq9qq 2 ай бұрын

I have dealt with this in past and what has helped me is following up with them after the even and just checking on them on a CONSISTENT basis LinkedIn. No one wants a network contact that only reaches out for favored.

@mzmaiyah 8 ай бұрын

Great tips! Sometimes I attend events with my spouse or my sister, who are also business professionals. What is the proper etiquette of introducing them to others that I may know? Who do I introduce first? How much information do I share about my spouse or the people at the event I am introducing?

@alyxchynellepriestley9075 Жыл бұрын

Isn't eating entirely dependent on the type of networking event you're attending? I absolutely agree that you shouldn't go to any event without at least eaten something light prior so you can focus on the task at hand but I also have been at events with people who don't know how to read a room because they're so last focused on things like: not eating because they don't want to look unprofessional. It's not so black and white in my opinion.

@kararonin Жыл бұрын

Good point. As long as you can eat comfortably and still talk to people, I think there' some flexibility there.

I think it's a good idea. It makes you look proactive and is an easy way to give your contact details to other people.

What is your take on E-Cards?

@kararonin Жыл бұрын

Personally, I would prefer to receive a physical business card from someone. However, if you didn't want to offer a business card, I'd recommend a LinkedIn connection request and connecting with that person there.
