to make – and maintain – new connections

💫If you learn something new from this Workshop newsletter, why not pay it forward and send it to a friend?

Here's how

01: Work out what you want.
Decide on the main things you want from your network: eg, finding collaborators or growing your voice in your industry. Then think about who might be able to help, and who you can offer something to.

02: Polish your offering.
First impressions matter. Get your personal or business’ online presence looking as fresh and appealing as possible – and make sure your personality comes through.

03: Set measurable goals.
Whether that’s ‘reach out to five people a month’ or ‘attend three events per quarter’, putting numbers on it will force you to get out there and begin building relationships.

to make–and maintain – new connections.
Having a diverse group of people you can speak to about business has A LOT of benefits. Alongside mitigating the feelings of isolation that many founders experience, there are also the more tangible benefits: connecting to new customers, establishing brand partnerships, finding great hires, keeping on top of trends and generally accessing new opportunities. The word ‘networking’ carries plenty of baggage – so it’s perhaps better to think of this instead as relationship building with a dynamic of mutual support. Sharing knowledge and opportunities with like-minded people is fun and productive – if you do it right.
