Networking isn’t about collecting contacts — it’s about earning connection.

Last week, during my webinar “The 7 Sins of Career Networking,” we explored what makes networking feel uncomfortable — and what turns it into genuine visibility.
The biggest “sins” weren’t about technique.
They were about mindset:
❌ Believing we can succeed alone.
❌ Thinking we have nothing to offer.
❌ Talking only when we need something.
What struck participants most was the moment they realized that visibility doesn’t come from visibility tactics — it comes from generosity. From showing curiosity. From being someone others want to help because you’ve built trust over time.
Networking isn’t a transaction; it’s a relationship practice. And visibility, at its best, is the byproduct of authentic connection.
