- How to network is something that all emerging leaders need to master (or re-master) as we may have lost practice over the past couple of years. As we move slowly back to more in-person events and conferences, I thought it timely to refresh your memory on networking etiquette tips and how to network in business.
I know that many of you are probably daunted by networking events. Common struggles I've helped people with are: How to start a conversation? How to shake hands? And should you eat at a networking event? I address all these questions and more in this video.
How to network is something that should be taught in college or professional development courses. But unfortunately, it isn't. What's sure is that if you spend some time watching this video to improve your networking skills and learn how to network with confidence, you'll put yourself ahead of your competition. And set yourself up for career and leadership success!

Asking good questions is a great way to build rapport.
We are all human. Human beings need to eat. If the event has food, EAT the food. You can take a few minutes to eat the finger food, go to the bathroom check for crumbs and wash your hands. Then return to networking.
So true
So how do you handle a situation where people you want to network with do not want to network with you because they have heard this wonderful tip about talking only with those who advance your career.
That’s just rejection. It happens in every area of life. Take it in stride and go on until you find a match.
Thank you Kara. Informative content for my Entrepreneurial studies 👍🏽
Networking is very important in professional life for better building a business relationship for the long term.
It definitely has a long term benefit!

Hi Kara - I love your practical videos and they are super helpful- so first of all- a big thank you 😊.
I wanted to request if you could do a video on interviews- I’m an excellent worker but fumble a lot at interviews especially competency based interviews where examples need to be shared. Also I tend to forget what I’ve prepared when I see all those interviewers around me. Would be Grateful for your valuable tips. Thank you.
Thank you - this is great information as I'm going to an important networking event!
Great advice. Love the strategy concept.
@Kara, I love your videos. Networking skills are very important, especially in growing business. :)
Love your transparency 👍
Thank you!
Thanks Kara, really helpful video
Great tips! Sometimes I attend events with my spouse or my sister, who are also business professionals. What is the proper etiquette of introducing them to others that I may know? Who do I introduce first? How much information do I share about my spouse or the people at the event I am introducing?
Thank you for nice indication ! I love your videos!
Thank you very much!
I have another problem with networking. I find it so hard to maintain relationships. I don't know how to strike a second conversation after we've introduced. I don't know when can I be of service, it's so difficult to appear not pushy.
I know part of me think it is exhausting to randomly approach and socialise with acquaintances, too.
I have dealt with this in past and what has helped me is following up with them after the even and just checking on them on a CONSISTENT basis LinkedIn. No one wants a network contact that only reaches out for favored.
Thank you for networking insights..Great inputs
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. i like your voice.🌷
Thank you!
Amazing video
Isn't eating entirely dependent on the type of networking event you're attending? I absolutely agree that you shouldn't go to any event without at least eaten something light prior so you can focus on the task at hand but I also have been at events with people who don't know how to read a room because they're so last focused on things like: not eating because they don't want to look unprofessional. It's not so black and white in my opinion.
Good point. As long as you can eat comfortably and still talk to people, I think there' some flexibility there.
It seems that 60% of the people at networking events have no business card!!!
Couldn't agree more 😂
I'm 18 and I'm attending an event today. I have no business card nor do I have any business being there💀 just going to get to know people
@@parinith6527how did it go? I’m similar age and will go to an event in a few days. I’m a student looking for an entry level position idk how to provide values 😭
Hi I’m a student please does it make sense to have a physical card I can give to expert at a networking eventS
I think it's a good idea. It makes you look proactive and is an easy way to give your contact details to other people.

What is your take on E-Cards?
Personally, I would prefer to receive a physical business card from someone. However, if you didn't want to offer a business card, I'd recommend a LinkedIn connection request and connecting with that person there.
Lol I don't care, I'm eating
