Your network is an essential asset for reaching the next level of success in your career.

A strong network of supporters gives you access to new opportunities, like exciting initiatives you could lead or be a part of that raise your visibility. It gives you the advantage of learning from other people’s hard-won experiences so you can avoid the costly mistakes they made. And your supporters can give you invaluable feedback, support and encouragement at every step in your career.

But building your network is easier said than done. Where do you start?

The key is to know the supporters you need and how to engage with them. With a clear strategy, you can get the most from the time and effort you invest in developing trusted and long-term relationships to achieve greater success.

In this Career Mastery Live, you’ll discover:

  • The 5 kinds of people you need in your network
  • How to assess your current supporters and identify the gaps in your network
  • The success factors for building strong relationships with each supporter
  • What to share with your supporters (and what not to share with some of them)
  • The special type of supporter who can connect you to important people
