Join us on 'Real Talk on Talent' as we delve into the often awkward yet essential world of networking, emphasizing the importance of building meaningful connections over mere transactional relationships.

Listen To The Episode
Video Description:
Networking can be awkward, but it doesn't have to be insincere. Imagine navigating a conference with the mindset that every encounter is an opportunity to form a mutually beneficial relationship rather than just collecting as many business cards as possible. In our latest episode, Hilary and Dina share their personal struggles and strategies to shift their perspective on networking. Learn how to make networking feel more genuine by focusing on how you can serve others, turning what might seem like a daunting task into a chance to create meaningful connections.
Not all networking happens face-to-face. In our digital age, connecting with others online can be just as impactful—if not more so. We tackle the delicate balance between genuine digital networking and the dreaded cold outreach. By engaging thoughtfully with content and conversations, you can build valuable relationships online, just like at a crowded conference. We also touch on how digital networking mirrors its in-person counterpart, requiring its own set of unspoken rules and nuances that, if mastered, can enhance both your personal and professional life.
Our conversation takes a reflective turn as we contemplate our identities beyond our job titles. Ever find yourself at a loss when your career changes or doesn’t define you the way it used to? That’s a common experience we explore, emphasizing the value of enduring passions and the contributions we make outside of work. With stories that illustrate how the simple act of asking someone to "tell me more" can lead to unexpected connections, we challenge the notion that our worth is tied to our professional achievements. Join us as we celebrate the aspects of identity that provide joy and stability, even amidst life’s transitions.
