Interviewed yesterday by a journalist who had never heard of Mao Zedong. Surprising?

The Issues:
  • Women confuse networking with not working
  • Men traditionally have clearer routes to making professional contacts
  • Women often have two jobs to do so have limited time for networking
  • Women find it difficult to network on their own behalf but are great on behalf of other people

 

The answers from Network like a Natural

Women are wonderful at making connections. They do it all the time but they can find it difficult to do it for their own personal benefit and advancement. They are much more likely to get their heads down, work hard and then get mad when they don’t get the recognition they deserve. Women often eschew ‘the boys’ games’ and are still locked out of conversations that take place in the locker room, the sporting engagement or even the bar. This can hold their career back. Many women also have a home life and other demands on their attention which can make it hard to invest time in networking especially if the return on investment doesn’t seem too clear.

This programme’s objectives are to enable women:
  • To work out a purpose in networking
  • To overcome the dread of making first contacts
  • To devise and practise an authentic way of engaging others
  • To find a way of making an impact
  • To build and invest in networks
  • To give back
