Cultivating your network

This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.


In this episode, I discuss why networking remains critical to building your career and that it needn't be something you fear.


Chapter Summary:


  • Communities have never been more important.
  • Finding your tribe creates tremendous collaboration and learning opportunities.
  • It’s essential to maintain relationships with your ‘weak ties’ to develop a broader range of opportunities.
  • Aspiring for reciprocity helps you identify your value and create inspiring possibilities with others.
  • Formal communities provide support and guidance when changing careers or entering new industries.
  • Preparing a financial runway gives you options when pivoting your career – many people aim for 6-months of flexibility.
  • Technology facilitates new ways of nurturing relationships and enabling your network to become a committed community of supporters.

“Life is a continuous learning journey with feedback loops along the way to help us reflect and adapt where appropriate. The Work/Life Flywheel is a much-needed read after the world has experienced a pandemic that puts the harmony of our work and personal lives in question.”
