 Back at it again! Check out my most recent article on online networking. It is important to create a healthy balance between in-person and virtual networking. In this article, I highlight the benefits and advantages that are often overlooked or undervalued.
Additionally, as a business owner, I enjoy sharing my expertise across many channels. A special shout goes to @ExecutiveSupport and @lucybrazier for allowing me to be a regular contributor for their global publication. I encourage you to read, comment and subscribe! Happy Networking and Stay Safe.  The SIMPLEnetworking Tip of the week is to have some networking fun! Engage in this SIMPLEnetworking Bingo to connect with others, sharpen your skills and flex your networking muscles! Offer it during a meeting, gathering or event with friends.
Use this tip to keep the networking momentum going! I was the inaugural speaker for the Black Girl Processing Space (BGPS) Graduation Celebration. It was a true honor to address the young black women, offer networking tips and share inspiration through storytelling. It was also surreal to be back on campus the week of my 25th Class Reunion (?!?!?!).
Additionally, I donated a portion of the J. Pollard Turman Alumni Service Award Gift to BGPS to financially support their mission. I had a fabulous time being "19" again, connecting with the "Alumnae To Be". In my closing keynote, I expressed my hopes that one (or some) of them, would win the Turman Award. Thus, continuing the legacy of service, leadership and community to Emory. CONGRATS OX CLASS OF 2023!!! #AlwaysOxford Photo Credit: Oxford College, Emory University *Black Girl Processing Space is a staff-led initiative designed for black women students, faculty and staff to support each other personally, professionally and academically. The SN Tip of the week is to have a networking "recovery" plan. Put systems or methods in place to quickly bounce back from networking mishaps. Brainstorm common scenarios: forget to follow up, miss a meeting, confuse connections, etc. Forward thinking and good planning are excellent ways to keep your networking on point.
Use this tip to master the art of networking and relationship building.  While relaxing this weekend, consider gaining great tips for networking with the SIMPLEnetworking books / ebooks. Learn to approach colleagues and new contact with confidence. Sharpen your elevator pitch. Follow up like a networking star! Above all, create quality and meaningful connections.
