{ Be More #Social, Off Social: #Networking Like A Pro }

November 08, 2017 / Chrishaun

Being a social butterfly is not something that comes easily to most people. I would admit, most days I do not like talking to people. But as a professional, you have to get over that. If not, you will find yourself stuck in a position that you hate or in a career you wish you had never started.

When I started my career, I was told to "put in my time first" before going after that big title. They were right, but they failed to mention putting in time off the clock too. It took me a few years to understand that concept, but now as I take on year five of my career and recent promotion to my eighth title, I have discovered a few insights about networking. First, to grow in your career you must learn to network like a pro, inside and outside of the office. Here are four networking secrets I would recommend to anyone who is ready to take their career to the next level.

Secure.

se·cure
səˈkyo͝or/
adjective

Fixed or fastened so as not to give way or be lost.
Certain to remain or continue safe and unharmed.
Feeling safe, stable, and free from fear or anxiety.
Feeling no doubts about attaining; certain to achieve.

The opposite of what I've experienced for 20 years of my life, until recently. I've finally experienced self-confidence! You may laugh, but it's an accomplishment for me. I see it this way because for years I put myself through personal hell.

Chrishaun you have to be the best.
Chrishaun you have to work hard.
Chrishaun you have to prove yourself.
Or else... you're nothing.

Yes, I was my hardest critic and I still am. The only difference between today and yesterday is that I now love myself. I am completely in love with me and it's unlike anything I've ever experience. Its given me a new sense of confidence.
