Helping Organisations Thrive with Julian Roberts #64 Glenys Chatterley | The importance of networking as a leader
Today I am interviewing Glenys Chatterley who is the MD of Effective Business Network (ebn).
Glenys has been networking her whole business life, something that she realised was important when she left the corporate world to start her own business. Glenys shares her passion, knowledge and experience of networking, and that it is not just for business owners but also leaders in organisations. And as we now start more in-person networking Glenys shared a tip that has help her and many others to create an impact whilst networking, that the 3, 3 and 3.
Often entering a room with lots of people can be overwhelmed, the key is to have a strategy and breakdown the approach, so initially speak to 3 people that you know really well, don;t spend too much time but arrange to have coffee another time. Then move onto to 3 people you know a little, so you can start to build upon that relationship. And now move onto 3 people you don't know, perhaps the previous conversations have introduced them to you, or ask them are anyone you should talk to in the room. This way you would have had 9 meaningful conversations at least, you can go again if time permits. Glenys shared other key strategies for networking.
