I'm excited about this episode because as you probably know by now, networking is the #1 way advance in your career! I'm going to focus on 3 networking strategies that I believe are the strongest and I'm going to talk you through how to make it happen!   Strategy #1 - Go big or go home. Strategy #2 - Connect with peers. Strategy #3 - Put yourself out there.   I'm also going to share two stories about how networking paid off for me to advance my career.   Whatever your thoughts are about networking, love or hate it, it is one of the best tools at your disposal for career advancement. That and your reputation, but your reputation can only be known if you talk to people.   Are there other ways to network? Absolutely, but these are three networking ideas that work best for experienced professionals and have a high return, which is most important in your career right now. You don't want to waste time.   Another special touch in this episode are the breaks I take to put these strategies in context of the COVID-19 pandemic since this is the currently reality at the time this airs.   If you are interested in learning more or connecting on social please follow Ride the Tide Collective on Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook.
