266: Reciprocal Networking and Building Genuine Connections
This episode addresses the concept of reciprocal networking and the importance of building genuine, mutually beneficial connections. Drawing from my 14 years of professional experience empowering first-gen BIPOC students, I share the increasingly extractive nature of people reaching out asking to “pick my brain” and emphasize the value of reciprocity in professional relationships. I also share some personal anecdotes, practical tips on how to engage in reciprocity, and encourage you to lead with humility, add value to others, and think of networking as a form of community building.
Order my new co-authored graduate school admissions book for first-gen BIPOCs by going to isgradschoolforme.com.
