  • Networking Reimagined: Authentic Connections to Supercharge Your Career

    Networking Reimagined: Authentic Connections to Supercharge Your Career
    2025/07/25
    This is your The Woman's Career Podcast podcast.

    Welcome to The Woman’s Career Podcast, where we go beyond the surface and give you the tools to thrive in your career. Today, we're diving straight into one of the most powerful drivers of success—networking effectively. If you just cringed a bit, you’re not alone. For many, just the word networking conjures visions of awkward mixers or exhausting small talk. But what if I told you that networking is less about collecting business cards and more about building real, reciprocal relationships that propel your career forward?

    Whether you identify as an introvert, happier in one-on-one conversations, or an extrovert who loves being in the spotlight, there’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint for networking. The key is making it work authentically for you and aligning it with your goals.

    Let’s start with why networking matters, especially for women. According to the Center for Creative Leadership, women often need to be even more intentional about connecting with champions—people who can open doors, advocate for promotions, and help navigate those critical career moments. These champions may be mentors offering guidance, but more importantly, you should be thinking about sponsors, influential leaders who actively promote your potential. Finding sponsors often means stepping out of our comfort zones to volunteer for cross-functional projects or reaching out to leaders we admire, even when it feels intimidating.

    For introverts, you might dread crowded networking events. Deborah Gray from Central Michigan University’s College of Business Administration recommends leveraging the power of shared activities. Ask yourself, what are you passionate about? Join professional groups or volunteer for causes aligned with your interests—spaces where meaningful conversations can happen naturally in smaller settings. Remember, a powerful one-on-one connection can be far more valuable than a dozen brief introductions at a large event.

    Extroverts thrive in group settings, so use that energy strategically. Attend industry conferences, host meetups, or act as a connector, introducing colleagues who could benefit from knowing each other. But don’t overlook the importance of quality—building trust and offering support is just as important as expanding the number of your contacts.

    A top tip from DDI, a leadership development research firm: Focus on giving before you get. Think not just about what you need from your network, but what value you can offer. Maybe it’s sharing resources, offering to make a helpful connection, or simply cheering someone on. When you approach networking as a two-way street, you naturally deepen relationships and create goodwill that comes back around.

    Try embedding networking into your daily routine. Make time for coffee chats, attend cross-department meetings, or simply check in with contacts periodically—these touchpoints can keep your relationships vibrant. And don’t forget about maintaining your network: keep notes on who’s in your circle, follow up after milestones, and always express gratitude for support.

    No matter your personality, networking is a career superpower any woman can master. By being intentional, genuine, and generous, you’ll create a network that supports both your ambitions and the ambitions of others.

  • Elevate Your Network, Empower Your Career: Women's Networking Strategies That Work

    Elevate Your Network, Empower Your Career: Women's Networking Strategies That Work
    2025/07/23
    This is your The Woman's Career Podcast podcast.

    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.

  • Networking Ninja: Unleash Your Superpower for Career Gold

    Networking Ninja: Unleash Your Superpower for Career Gold
    2025/07/21
    This is your The Woman's Career Podcast podcast.

    Welcome back to The Woman’s Career Podcast. Today, let’s leap right into a topic vital for success in any industry—networking. Whether you’re targeting that next big promotion, seeking fresh perspectives, or aiming to leave a meaningful impact, building an intentional, dynamic professional network is your secret weapon.

    Here’s the truth: 80% of women leaders drive their career success through effective networking. Women at the executive level are especially proactive, setting clear goals before events, researching attendees, and showing up prepared to connect with intention. Preparing an elevator pitch, reviewing event logistics, and coming with a list of potential discussion topics gives you confidence and focus. It’s all about meaningful conversations, not shallow small talk. Preparation is empowering, so own your message from the very start.

    But what if networking feels exhausting, awkward, or even intimidating? For many, especially introverts, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by large groups. If you’re more reserved, start with smaller, intimate settings like professional women’s groups or one-on-ones. Take advantage of shared activities: join committees, attend a new project kickoff, or volunteer for a cross-department initiative. These can be low-pressure ways to spark deeper relationships over time. And remember, your authenticity is a strength; meaningful connections grow from sincerity, not from forced interactions.

    For the extroverts listening, your energy and ease with new faces is a powerful asset, but the challenge is to listen and build quality connections, not just collect contacts. Shift the focus to how you can help others—offer support, make introductions, and act as a connector within your circle. This generosity comes full circle, but don’t forget to set boundaries. Give authentically, but never at the cost of your own goals or well-being.

    Follow-up is the most crucial—and most overlooked—step in the networking journey. After any event, collect business cards and jot down quick notes about each person. Send a simple follow-up message within a day or two, reminding them of your conversation. Consider building a networking database and make it a habit to reach out periodically—keep your network fresh and active.

    Women’s success in networking also hinges on mentoring relationships. Less than a third of female leaders have mentors, but those who do are notably more likely to land board seats and promotions. Don’t hesitate to seek out a mentor—or be one. Organizations like WomenTech Network offer mentoring programs, pairing emerging leaders with experienced guides for tailored support and growth.

    Networking doesn’t have to be formal. It happens in the everyday: sharing lunch with someone outside your inner circle, chatting before a meeting, or referring someone for a new opportunity. According to Deborah Gray from Central Michigan University, joining boards or community groups expands your reach while cultivating long-term, supportive relationships. The key is intentionality—identify where you need resources or influence and reach out accordingly.

    Embrace rejection. Not every connection will be fruitful, and that’s fine. Think of it as clarity, not failure. Be specific when asking for help—vague requests like “Can you help me find a job?” rarely work. Instead, request introductions or advice on a targeted topic. It’s about owning your value and showing up with confidence, whether you thrive on the buzz of a room or prefer sincere coffee chats.

    Listeners, your network is not just a career tool—it’s your lifeline. Build it with care, drive, and purpose. Thank you for tuning in to The Woman’s Career Podcast.
