Is the art of networking lost on Gen Y and Gen Z?

Is the art of networking lost on Gen Y and Gen Z?

Are the younger generations missing out on the benefits of traditional networking, or are they just doing it differently? How can we bridge the gap between generations in professional associations and networking groups? In this episode, I explore these questions and discuss how new approaches to networking can benefit us all, regardless of age.

Listen to this new 7-minute episode for insights on how to successfully network with Gen Y and Gen Z and how to make networking more relational than transactional.

Episode Summary: 
In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I dive into the question, "Is the art of networking lost on Gen Y and Gen Z?" Contrary to popular belief, I don't think it's lost; it's just different. I explore how younger generations are still actively networking through social media and online platforms. I emphasize the importance of adapting to their methods and fostering relationships based on value, rather than making them purely transactional. I also share insights on involving younger professionals in leadership roles and understanding their needs to create meaningful connections across generations. Tune in for some valuable networking strategies and tips on cross-generational collaboration.
