36: How Leaders Network Without Being a “Taker”

SisterSmart Leadership

Mid-career women often have an allergic reaction to how to build their network.

They don't want to feel cheesy, sleazy, or like they're only out for themselves. They've seen others doing this and they don't want to be perceived in the same way.

But the problem with this is it holds them back in their careers because your network is more important the higher your rise.

In this episode, Jill shares how you can balance giving and taking so you can build a strategic network with people you enjoy spending time with. She’ll share how she’s created a reputation as someone people can count on and who they turn to when they need an expert.

So if you've been resisting the whole idea of networking or feel lost on how to do it in a way that doesn’t just feel like you’re taking, taking, taking, this episode's for you!
