• Mentors can help you backfill the gaps that you have.

Networking:

• Join professional organizations and be an active participant.
• Participate in committees that help you make connections and aid you in ways you don’t even know were possible.
• Be engaged while at an event and be the person in the front row.
• Spend as little time as possible speaking, listen to the other person more than you talk.
• After meeting people at an event, step into the hallway and make notes about your conversation.
• Meaningful connections happen when you are an active listener - it helps bridge differences.

“A trick I use sometimes-walking around with a colleague when I meet people for the first time…it can feel more conversational and comfortable for the person we are talking with”-Anne Trompeter
