Your Professional Network: The Benefits of a Professional Network
Whether you're just starting your career or well-established in your current role, it's important to create, grow, and maintain a network of professional acquaintances that you can reach out to for a variety of reasons in your day-to-day work. Who you know can be just as important as what you know in certain circumstances. In this course, we'll discuss why building a professional network is so critically important in business. We'll go over the benefits involved, including finding job opportunities, discovering good candidates for job openings, as well as gaining information, advice, and ideas.
Your Professional Network: Building Your Network
Building your professional network should be a well-thought-out process. You want to include people who can help you further your professional goals. Connecting widely is okay, but you need to use discretion so you're growing your circles in the right way. That's what this course is all about. We'll go over how to properly use technology to grow your network. We'll also discuss the importance of "connectors" and "influencers." Other topics we'll cover include how to make a good introduction, looking for mutual connections, and creating personal messages.
Your Professional Network: Giving Back to Your Community
Perhaps the most important rule in networking is to be a giver, not a taker. A large part of creating a group is giving back to the community. Whether it's through the professional network you've created, an industry group, or the community you live in, hopefully you will feel compelled to help others in your journey. In this course, we'll go over the many different ways to do that.
Your Professional Network: Promoting Your Personal Brand
Personal branding is the idea of developing a look and feel around your name or your career. You use this to express and communicate your skills, personality, and values. We all can be a brand and cultivate our power to stand out and be unique. This uniqueness draws people to your product, your services, or even just your message. Your personal brand should be about who you are and what you have to offer. In this program, we'll go over how to develop your brand, which includes defining your target, being a good storyteller, and knowing ways to highlight your uniqueness. We'll also cover creating an elevator pitch, developing your personal brand online, and speaking in public.
