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 savoring deep one-on-one chats or an extrovert energizing crowds, your style is your superpower for building connections that open doors.
Picture yourself at a conference or scrolling LinkedIn from your home office. That single conversation could spark a collaboration or land you a hidden job opportunity. Mind Tools reports that strategic networking gives women access to promotions and visibility, with 90 percent of female leaders crediting it for board positions and 70 percent linking it to better profitability. Harvard Business Review echoes this, showing women with strong female networks are far more likely to reach executive roles. Jacqueline V. Twillie from the Winning Season podcast nails it: networking isn't clout—it's mutual growth, sharing resources, and lifting each other up.
Extroverts, harness your natural spark. As Deborah Gray, marketing professor at Central Michigan University, advises, expand upward by commenting thoughtfully on a CEO's LinkedIn post or attending webinars like those featuring Sheryl Sandberg. Diversify with virtual coffees across industries for fresh ideas, and leverage your circle—ask for project advice or referrals while giving back through boards or community groups. The Center for Creative Leadership stresses diverse networks bridge boundaries, fueling innovation and resilience.
Introverts, you shine in quality connections, not crowds. Leading Lady Coaching transformed their founder's business with these gems: target just three meaningful talks at events, skipping card collections. Use your writing strength for LinkedIn messages sharing resources—many bonds start digitally. Host intimate quarterly lunches for six to eight women in complementary fields, like web designers and branding photographers. Deepen ties with three to five allies via check-ins, contribute in Facebook groups at your pace, and systematize follow-ups with email templates. HiHello blog confirms women excel at these deeper bonds.
No matter your vibe, make it intentional. Audit what energizes you—swap big mixers for masterminds or 30-minute weekly blocks, per Mind Tools. Craft your elevator pitch defining your brand, as Career Central at the University of Pittsburgh suggests. Pay it forward: share articles, connect peers, and mentor. Lisa Virtue, executive coach from HerCareerStudio.com, reminds us to make the ask—85 percent of jobs come through networks. Block time quarterly for online builds, meetups, and posts showcasing wins.
Sisters, your network is your safety net and launchpad. Build it with diversity and heart, and watch your career thrive.
