Editor's Notes
- #2: Predominant amt of research stems from this bookHas changed my outlook of networkingNetworking is critical to success in life
- #3: Here is an insight into the presentation.Hopefully by the end of the presentation, you will be able to answer these questions for yourself.
- #4: A brief summary of the book.
- #5: Do unto others as you would want done to you
- #6: -Creating brand equity for yourself. -Each ping occurrence is improving you and your brand. -We will talk later more about pinging, but for now all you need to know is that pinging is essentially maintaining a relationship. Network because you never know when your position will be eliminatedIf you keep current with your network, unemployment should be inexistent
- #7: Pinging staying in touch, a quick casual greeting. Theres no one way to ping. Once you develop your own style, youll find it easier to stay in touch with more people than you could have imagined.
- #8: .
- #9: -As a college student, the majority of the time, your network is going to be providing more to you in the shortfall than you are providing to them. -e.g. Guest Speakers, Professors, etc. - Thank them for their time and help, and be genuine in your discourse When following up, be personal. Whether it be an email or phone call, mention a funny moment/highlight from your conversation to jog the other persons memory of your conversation. The more known the person, the less likely they will remember your conversation.
- #11: Recognizing the value of Networking and mastering the mechanics is great, but you need to apply networking towards goals to get full effect. That is where a nap(nap joke?) Networking Action Plan (NAP) comes in. A Networking Action Plan helps you define specific, achievable goals that will motivate you and allow you to develop a strategy to complete them.(Find someone in room to ask about goals for the semester)There are people who can help you achieve those goals correct Ok so here are some NAP criteria
- #12: Mentoring is a nonhierarchical activity that transcends careers and can cross all organizational boundaries. Which essentially means, a mentor doesnt have to be someone with a higher title than you. A mentor just has to be someone that you can ultimately benefit from.
- #13: Think about what you want to accomplish within the next year (for instance) and work your way back to the present. This may seem counter-intuitive at first but when you understand where you want to head you have a better of what actions to take today, tomorrow and next week. The actions that you take today will have a multiplier effect in the future, its the classic example of a 3 degree slice at the tee becoming 30 yards right of the fairway and in the lake- so aim in the right direction.Some example goals for a year out Summer internship ( if you were like me you were thinking about this from the moment began your highschool job)College involvement what clubs do you want to be in, leadership positions within those clubsFitness goals ( lose 30 lbs and 15% body fat, gain 15 lbs of muscle, run a sub -6 mile consistently etc.)Making the steps to reach your goals smaller makes them more perceptible and doable !
- #14: -Dale Carnegie is famous for his book How to Win Friends and Influence People.
