Networking

Networking is a necessity for individuals and businesses. Research shows the value of building professional networks. Among other things, networking leads to business opportunities, knowledge sharing and innovation. Some people love to network while others find it a chore. It is possible to shift your mindset so that networking is viewed as an opportunity to discover and learn instead of a task that must be done. One step in this process is doing some homework before you meet the person in order to find common interests. This will make the networking experience more enjoyable and lead to better relationships.
