“In the process of networking, you hone your story. You actually get a better idea of what you’re trying to convey, how people are reacting to it, and how you need to modify it over time to become even better at telling your story.” - Pat Hedley
Experts in the career, business and entrepreneurial space have said that your network is everything, but many people have a somewhat negative view of networking, viewing it as transactional, perhaps even unnecessary, and certainly burdensome. Today’s Finding Brave expert guest reframes networking as something that is essential, accessible, and life-affirming. She reveals why networking doesn’t have to be stressful, and it can (and should) be joyful, as well as help you learn, share, succeed, and connect in fulfilling ways with others.
