It\u2019s International Networking Week, a time for you to share your experience and develop your support system. While the methods may be a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still a crucial time to improve your relationships with other businesses <em>and<\/em> with your coworkers. Add us to your network, because we can help.<\/p>\n<h2>Importance of Networking<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nationaldaycalendar.com\/international-networking-week-first-week-in-february\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Networking Week<\/a> is a time for you to look back and thank the associates and colleagues you have worked with in the past while reaching out and making new connections for the future. Maintaining relationships is just as important as gaining new ones.<\/p>\n<p>Networking helps you gain both skills and connections in a variety of ways, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Career support. Having a \u201ccareer conversation\u201d with a colleague or with a representative from another business can help you explore methods for career advancement or alternate career opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Confidence building. Building relationships allows you to open avenues that weren\u2019t previously available to you\u2014increasing your confidence to pursue opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Referrals. The most tangible benefit\u2014strong relationships lead to more referrals, so make sure you take the time to build them up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Goals for International Networking Week<\/h2>\n<p>So, what should you try to accomplish this week? It\u2019s all about improving yourself and your connections. Here are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jimblasingame\/2017\/02\/03\/six-success-tips-for-international-networking-week-plus-a-bonus\/?sh=71af661e5369\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">few achievable goals<\/a> to accomplish that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Listen more, talk less. You\u2019re more likely to impress a possible connection by showing interest in them. Listening is a key component to building any relationship, business or otherwise.<\/li>\n<li>Prepare your elevator speech. While listening is important, expressing yourself when it\u2019s your turn to talk is, too. Your elevator speech is a concise summary about you and what you bring to the table.<\/li>\n<li>Build your social media connections. This is especially important for 2021 since social gatherings will continue to be few and far between for much of this year. But that doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t network. Reach out on social media, connect to old contacts and build your digital presence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How We Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>At Giombetti Associates, we specialize in relationships.\u00a0We are eager to answer any questions you have about the <a href=\"https:\/\/giombettiassoc.com\/services\/performance-dynamics\/\">services<\/a> we offer.
