Race & Networking

Race & Networking

2020-06-2506:15

I shared on social media this week that learning about cultures is amazing, but networking with people within those cultures firsthand is far more impactful. This week I share some thoughts on culture and race within a networking context.
Especially now, with all that is going on, I keep getting asked why I am so positive! This week I share the real core behind my positivity and ask you to participate in a challenge this week to write down positive things at the end of each day! I will walk you through a story that has shaped my life & hopefully encourage you to participate in my challenge this week.
With all that is going on in the world, there is a ton of fear and frustration. This week I talk about mental health and the notion of supporting others through helping! You can help through writing recommendations on LinkedIn and/or endorsing skills! You can also send someone coffee & hop on a video chat! eGift cards are easy to send & $10 for Starbucks might be everything to someone. This and much more on this week's podcast. Find me online @SpeakerDees (Insta, Twitter & Facebook) or by email at info@smartselling.guru.
How do we network when going out and being in a large group of people may not be the best course of action with all that is going on? I share some info about the virus, encourage you to spend 3 hours per month networking and challenge you to accomplish two tasks over the next few weeks!
This week we focus on Job Seekers and finding referrals through a solid long-term networking strategy. Below are some resources that will hopefully be beneficial for those looking for employment or a change in their current career.

Goal setting is very important in life overall. It is also very helpful when it comes to your networking process! How many events will you attend next decade? How many contacts do you want to make? These are questions you should have answered going into 2020!https://www.facebook.com/events/496921097575482/ Link to Networking Workshop in January.
One of the most important aspects of networking is understanding who you are, what your value is and clearly communicating that to others! This week, we start looking at understanding who we are as a tool to network better. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
