FEATURE the last few years have taught us anything , it is importance to know who you can turn to when the unexpected happens . Consistent networking will help you cultivate a community of people who will have your back when you are facing a time of crisis or change . By making the time to network with a diverse range of people , chances are that someone has tackled your problem before , or can offer advice on how to traverse the issue – likewise , you could offer support to others drawn from your own experience . Finding the right mentor to offer guidance and learning opportunities will be invaluable in your career journey , and future mentors can often be at networking events , or via relationships that you build there .
In 2024 , networking isn ’ t a selfish endeavour engineered to push sales targets and gather leads . Networking is a holistic endeavour that will elevate you as a leader in your field while building a supportive network of diverse minds who will help you reach your goals and be a reassuring community when times get tough . x
