Career builders and mutually beneficial career relationships are a rare gift that once you have it, doors of opportunities are open to you as you develop your career. Whether you are looking to grow your career or pivot, there are tools to help you succeed. These tools and skills you master will stay with you for a lifetime.
Practice compassion at work
You need to try and discover the physical and emotional ticks of people that you work with. When people see you as understanding of their views and general makeup, they are easily drawn to you. To win at having meaningful connections, you need to have emotional intelligence and be compassionate at the workplace.
Prepare to connect
In order to boost your impact in your career, focus on networking events and opportunities where you can turn up your networking game and benefit from those you connect with. One of the tools to help you succeed in building career relationships is simply putting yourself out there and being open to connect.
Invest in relationships
How many of your high value business colleagues can you rely on for opportunities? Those superficial connections are meaningless unless you invest time and resources into fostering a genuine relationship with them. To build high quality relationships, you have to be willing to build lasting relationships that drive business opportunities in the long-term.
Inspiring stories of successful leaders
Read and learn from inspiring interviews or stories of leaders who built successful organisations and businesses. These people are usually individuals who built high-quality connections and leveraged on their contacts to succeed at what they do. Attend events and conferences where you can connect with these successful people through mentoring, chats or interviews.
Conclusion
In all, be open to enjoy resources and opportunities that will guide you through becoming successful. While at it, always remember to be compassionate, prepare to connect, invest in relationships, and learn from inspiring stories of successful business leaders.
