Effective Communication & Networking

 

Welcome to Week 5:

 

At the end of this week, students will be able to:

 

• Describe why mentors are essential to achieving your calling

 

• Identify and analyze the 5 P’s of personal networking

 

I. Key Messages for this week (Harris, 2021):

 

• It’s not what you know, sometimes, as who you know

 

• The people who get the best jobs are the people who know how to get the job done, and not always the most qualified candidate.

 

• Learn to benefit from your contacts.

 

• Set a goal to increase your contacts by one per week which translates to 52 new contacts per year. Keep your contacts organized and active.

 

II. Course materials for this week (Harris, 2021):

 

A. Watch the following YouTube videos:

 

1. “Don’t Be Afraid to A.S.K.” by Career Edge

 

 

2. “Tools and tips on Email Etiquette”

 

 

B. Read: “The 5 P’s of personal networking”.

Effective Communication & Networking

 

For this assignment, create a blank Word Doc and:

 

1. Make a list of the family members, friends, co-workers and any other contacts with whom you interact the most or with whom you typically spend the majority of your time.

 

2. Put a “+” next to each person who inspires, encourages or builds you up as a person. Put a “-” beside every person who is toxic – people who complain, spread rumors, act negatively, have a poor attitude, find the bad in people, whine and criticize your dreams and aspirations.

 

3. If you cannot determine which category to place the person in, put a question mark.

 

4. Evaluate the list after you think of as many people as possible.

 

5. Upload this document as your assignment and make a commitment to reduce spending time with the people who have a “-” next to their name.

 

By following through on this assignment, you now have a blueprint as to which people in your life will truly help you attain your goals and objectives, and which people may be along for the ride.
