Join me, Sarah Noel Block, for a candid chat with networking guru Jenna Kimball. We'll dive into the art of networking without the awkwardness, share tips on rekindling old connections, and reveal how a simple "Keep me in mind" can open doors you never knew existed. Get ready to transform your networking game!

Biggest Takeaways

1. Networking Mindset Shift: Approach networking with a positive mindset, believing that people are interested in what you have to say and that you have value to offer.
2. Open-Ended Questions: Use open-ended questions to spark meaningful conversations and allow others to share more about themselves, creating deeper connections.
3. Offer Value First: Focus on how you can serve others and offer value in your networking interactions, rather than immediately seeking something in return.
4. Keep in Touch: Reengage with your existing network by reaching out with genuine interest and keeping track of your interactions to maintain relationships over time.
5. The Power of "Keep Me in Mind": Use this phrase to leave a lasting impression and keep doors open for future opportunities without putting pressure on the other person.
