Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers! “We have to connect with people. We must, because this is how it works in life. The huge thing that you want, the amazing outcome, or that big milestone, it’s not doable without other people. It just isn’t.” - Kathy Caprino The answers to all your networking and career-building questions aren’t as far away as they seem, and in fact, they’re right inside of you. In today’s Finding Brave episode I look at the Power Gap #4 from my latest book, The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss, which is isolating yourself from influential support. In this episode, I share how you can apply the same rules of courteousness, generosity, commitment, bravery, and being of mutual benefit that you apply in day-to-day life, to overcome this gap and begin connecting with influential supporters, sponsors, mentors, and what I call “ambassadors” for your work and your goals. But to successfully connect with great help you must understand that you ARE worthy of amazing, influential support to move forward. The world needs you, your talents, and your new ideas and initiatives and you have much more to offer that’s of great value and importance than you realize. Not only does this episode offer doable action steps that you can start taking today to get this influential support, but I also offer a powerful reframe that will change the way that you see and approach networking. These steps truly work to move you forward and I can’t wait to hear what transforms in your life when you take these power-boosting steps!
