Welcome to the CharCharms Channel!! A channel where I (Char) will upload a weekly vid about CharCharms and stuff going on!
Why networking is important?
Networking is an important part of your professional journey. It can help to boost your career growth and even help you to hear about (new) job opportunities. It can help you to grow on a personal level, improving your social and communication skills.
We get you, networking can be a bit overwhelming, especially when you are new to the game. However, with a positive mindset it is possible to build confidence and even develop yourself as a person.
Don’t pressure yourself too much and enjoy all the new connections and conversations. The more you attend these events, the easier it gets and the more confidence you build. Oh, and don’t forget to follow up after the event and reach out to your new connections, this is where you can create new business opportunities and work for your company.
What are some networking tips? We listed a few of them below.
We believe that talking to people you already know can make you feel more confident and at ease. Maybe there are some colleagues that are attending, or someone you know from the industry. We find it important to be aware of your attitude towards the people you are talking to at the event to amplify genuine conversations
Talking about attitude: every single person attending the networking event came to network and to connect. That is why we feel that our attitudes can be open and optimistic, as we all want the same experience. Also, with remote working, time pressure and e-mailing, it is hard to get a ‘real’ conversation with other professionals. So if you can get into a networking event, hooray! You're getting F2F interactions, where you can really get a sense of what you and they are all about.
If you are ready, you could try and start a conversation with the people who are introduced to you. Try to challenge yourself and ask open-ended questions, to study their behavior and be open to new perspectives and insights. Asking open-ended questions gets people talking - it gets the conversation flowing and eventually this leads to new conversation topics from their answers.
Some tips for asking questions.
Prepare some ready-to-go questions. It could be beneficial to consider a few interesting questions in advance for which you would genuinely like to hear answers.
Start the open-ended questions with words like ‘what’ or ‘how’. We do recommend being a little bit more cautious with ‘why’ questions because people could feel like they’ve been put on the defensive.
You have been able to practice a little bit in your previous conversations. The last step is to talk to people you don’t know at all. By doing this, you are stepping out of your comfort zone and building invaluable skills that you will carry with you the rest of your life.
We hope the tips above will help you to relax more during these events. It is always good to come prepared and if you follow these steps we are sure you will feel more confident when attending networking events.
