About this listen
Welcome back to The Woman's Career Podcast, where we empower you to claim your power and soar in your career. I'm your host, and today we're diving straight into networking effectively—the rocket fuel that propels women like you to promotions, mentorships, and board seats. Whether you're an introvert cherishing deep one-on-one chats or an extrovert who energizes crowds, your style is your superpower. Picture yourself at a conference or on LinkedIn, sparking that connection that changes everything. Mind Tools reports that strategic networking gives women access to 90 percent of board positions and boosts organizational profitability by 70 percent. Harvard Business Review echoes this, showing women with strong female inner circles land executive roles more often, fostering resilience and bold decisions.
Extroverts, harness your natural spark. As Deborah Gray, marketing professor at Central Michigan University, teaches, networking builds meaningful bridges, not just card stacks. Expand upward by commenting thoughtfully on a CEO's LinkedIn post or attending Sheryl Sandberg's webinar. Diversify with virtual coffees outside your field—fresh ideas ignite innovation. Leverage your circle utilitantly, like men do: ask for project advice or referrals while giving back through boards or community groups. The Center for Creative Leadership urges diversity across industries and ages for high-quality networks. Lead workshops or join cross-functional teams; proximity, says Gray, breeds your best allies.
Introverts, quality trumps quantity—your depth is magnetic. Leading Lady Coaching transformed their founder's business with six strategies: target three meaningful event conversations, not card hordes. Shine online via LinkedIn messages sharing resources—many powerhouse ties start digitally. Host intimate quarterly lunches for six to eight women in complementary fields, like web designers and branding photographers. Deepen three to five strategic partnerships with regular check-ins. Contribute insights in industry Facebook groups or LinkedIn communities at your pace. Systematize follow-ups with email templates for milestones, staying top-of-mind without exhaustion. HiHello notes women excel at these genuine bonds.
No matter your vibe, plan quarterly: mix online builds, small meetups, and masterminds. Audit what energizes you—skip draining mixers for cozy virtual chats. Block 30 weekly minutes, as Mind Tools advises, and share LinkedIn wins for visibility. Jacqueline V. Twillie of the Winning Season podcast shares her AHA method from Dear Resilient Leader: Attitude of mutual growth, Habits of small consistent actions like resource shares, and Actions creating spaces where we rise together. Career Central at the University of Pittsburgh stresses authentic elevator pitches to attract mentors. Pay it forward—connect peers, offer advice. When we lift each other, we thrive.
