Welcome to The Woman’s Career Podcast. Today, we’re diving straight into networking—what it means, why it matters, and how every woman can make it work, whether you thrive at the center of the spotlight or value meaningful one-on-ones. In a world where careers flourish not only on expertise but also on connections, it’s time we transform networking from a chore into an empowering practice.
Let’s get to the heart of the matter. Why does networking still matter? Deborah Gray, a professor at Central Michigan University, clarified on The Search Bar podcast that networking isn’t simply about having a profile on LinkedIn. Real networking is about building genuine relationships, not just collecting business cards or digital connections. Every introduction, every conversation, is a gateway to opportunity—but only if we value quality over quantity.
If you’re an extrovert, you might gravitate toward large events or conferences. People like Weiping Wang, known for her concise and impactful introduction, remind us that it’s about how you show up and what unique story you share. Before any event, prepare your elevator pitch—a thirty-second snapshot of who you are, what drives you, and what you’re seeking. Practice it until it feels authentic. You’ll be ready to shine, spark curiosity, and invite collaboration.
Introverts, let’s be honest: big group settings can be draining. But effective networking is not reserved for extroverts. It’s just as powerful to use smaller group events, such as professional women’s groups like CCWomen, or even informal coffee chats to nurture meaningful connections. Focus on common interests or shared activities. Many successful women, as found in Ellevate Network’s articles, rely on thoughtful follow-up—a genuine email or a LinkedIn message with a shared takeaway from your conversation can mean all the difference.
A strategic and intentional approach is key for everyone. Revisit your existing network. Sometimes the colleague you lost touch with a year ago is exactly the person who can offer advice or open a door. Leverage your current contacts; don’t underestimate the value of friendly reintroductions.
It’s vital for women to remember that the most successful leaders don’t go it alone. The Center for Creative Leadership emphasizes that building a network of champions—both mentors and sponsors, including a close circle of supportive women—offers resources, influence, and tailored career guidance. Women tend to support one another’s growth when we make space for mutual empowerment.
Networking is broader than job titles. It’s about connecting with people, lifting each other up, and maximizing equity. The most impactful question you can ask isn’t “What can this person do for me?” but “How can we help each other?” By making the pie bigger for everyone, we make room for all to flourish.
To close out, remember that networking skills are learned—no matter your personality type or your comfort zone. Start by preparing, show up as yourself, nurture genuine relationships, and make time for follow-up. And whatever you do, keep your network refreshed and authentic.
