Networking - Some people go “bring it on” but many people shrink and hope the whole concept goes away. However, networking is an important aspect of personal and professional growth if we approach it the right way.

When we view networking as a way to serve others, rather than focusing solely on ourselves, it becomes more meaningful. True networking is not based on greed but on generosity. Real networking is about finding ways to make other people more successful.

In this new episode of Making Sense of Work, Jean Balfour shares her own networking experiences and offers advice for those who may feel uncertain about networking. She highlights the benefits that can arise from this practice.
