The Six Types You Need in Your Network: Weaving a Network that Works for You
Does networking feel overwhelming? Do you wish there was a better way of figuring out who you need to know? To focus your activities so networking feels less haphazard and more strategic?
Studies of high performer networks and network science shows us that all networks are not created the same. People with stronger networks have six specific types represented in their networks, including mentors, sponsors, truth tellers, and gatekeepers. Learn about these four types—and the other two types you need—in this engaging, interactive session. Along the way, we’ll bust some popular myths, like the best people to have in your network are the ones you don’t have yet and one mentor is enough, and we’ll have fun doing it.
What you’ll take away from this workshop:
- An understanding of the six types everyone needs in their network
- An assessment of how well represented those types are in your network
- Your next steps for filling network gaps and finding people to play missing roles
