Welcome back to The Woman’s Career Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re getting straight to the point: how to network effectively—whether you’re an introvert shuddering at the thought of small talk or an extrovert ready to work the room, this episode is for you.
Let’s start with a powerful fact: According to the WomenTech Network, over 80% of women leaders use networking as a primary strategy to drive career success. That’s not a minor tactic—that’s the backbone of upward mobility for women across industries. Yet, despite all the buzz, many of us still feel a sense of dread, or even guilt, about leveraging connections for our own benefit. It’s time we own it and reframe networking as a tool for impact, growth, and support—not just self-promotion.
Preparation is your first power move. Walking into an event or logging onto a virtual meetup, know the purpose and people involved. I can’t stress this enough: set goals, identify who you actually want to meet, and craft your elevator pitch ahead of time—I’m talking a succinct, authentic introduction that highlights not just what you do, but what drives you. For introverts, this prep is a lifeline. Think of it as armor that lets you focus on substance and avoid improvising in the moment. As the Ellevate Network suggests, even make a “cheat sheet”—a list of safe conversation starters or professional talking points you can easily reference.
For extroverts, your energy naturally draws people in, but the real impact comes from making genuine connections—not just collecting LinkedIn contacts. Take the two-way street approach: show as much interest in others as you hope they show in you. Dive deeper than “what do you do?” Ask about projects, challenges, and passions. That’s how you convert fast chats into lasting advocates.
Now, let’s address follow-up. Every meaningful exchange is an open door. Make it a ritual to connect after events—with a quick message, a LinkedIn note, or an invitation for coffee. According to the Center for Creative Leadership, the most powerful networks are developed intentionally: through invitations to projects, sharing useful resources, and periodic check-ins that remind your contacts you’re invested in their success, not just your own.
Women benefit uniquely from close-knit circles of support—research from the DDI World shows that women with a strong inner circle of other women advance faster and achieve more. Don’t limit yourself to traditional work contacts. Join industry associations, women’s groups like WomenTech Network, or volunteering opportunities where your passion meets other committed professionals.
If you’re introverted, leverage one-on-one interactions or shared activities, from industry book clubs to strategic volunteering. Deborah Gray at Central Michigan University points out that shared activities make networking feel natural and less transactional. For extroverts, consider broadening your base—reach out to those beyond your usual sphere and be the bridge for others.
Be specific when you ask for support: instead of “can you help me find a job?” try, “do you know anyone hiring for X or can you introduce me to someone in Y role?” And remember, give back—share opportunities, send congratulations, and be visible as a champion for others. That’s networking that empowers everyone.
