Notable Quotes
- Networking is a critical skill for your career success, regardless of what industry you're in or what job you're in.
- Look for networking events or industry conferences in your area, and then use them as an opportunity to meet new people and learn more about different career paths that you might be interested in.
- The quality of the answer to your question comes directly from the quality of your question.
- Make sure you're genuinely interested in what the person has to say and you're listening to what they're saying, not listening to respond. And then keep asking questions.
- When you ask them about a curiosity conversation, it's not about you. It's about them. It's about their bandwidth, belief, and ability to create value for you. It's never about you. So if someone says no, it's not about you. And that's okay. If they say yes, that's great.
