#GuildChat for 04/03/20: Building Your Network

Our next #GuildChat takes place this Friday, April 3rd at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic is Building Your Network.

One of my favorite bands is the Foo Fighters (amazing live shows… but I digress). In their song “Times Like These” they sing:

It’s times like these you give and give again…

A big part of connecting with others is in giving freely to others. Sharing expertise, ideas and opinions has never been easier today and many of us have been doing it for quite sometime and have learned much about the value of networking and our own networks. Today, with COVID-19 having a significant and incomparable impact, networking is more important than ever and our giving networks our time, skills and resources is greatly appreciated and so beneficial. Giving, receiving, appreciating and recognizing are 4 simple principles but i’m sure there are more.

Join us this week in #GuildChat to learn the approaches others are and have taken in building networks for both personal and professional benefits and share your own tools and tips with the community!
