Let’s dive in a little more.

Here are 4 practical ways to build strong connections with people and be the person people are more than happy to help, any day and any time.

1. Be genuine:
People can usually tell when you're being insincere, so it's important to be authentic in your interactions with others. Show a genuine interest in learning about them, their interests, and their careers.

2. Look for ways to add value:
Find ways to help the people you meet, even if it's just offering a small piece of advice or introducing them to someone in your network.

3. Follow up:
After meeting someone new, be sure to follow up with them by sending a friendly email or connecting with them on LinkedIn. This will help keep the relationship from fading away.

4. Give back:
Keep in mind that networking is a two-way street. Be open to helping others in your network, just as you would hope they would be open to helping you. By supporting others, you'll build stronger connections and a more supportive community.

It's good to remember that networking is a gradual process and you should be consistent about it.

Always keep in mind that it's not only about gaining advantage for yourself but also about helping others and creating a win-win situation.

There’s always room for improvement. You are probably already good at all of these. Take the one you’re not good at and work on it.

Rooting for you ✌️
