The people I have met that were the best at networking (by far) made it look easy and seamless. They never (or rarely) specifically tried or did things just to network for network sake - they were just constantly naturally doing it. They made friends everywhere and took initiative constantly to organize groups of people meeting up or dinners with individuals or couples or attending events and things like that. Most people are terrible at making and even more so maintaining friends - you would be surprised how amenable people are to an occasional phone call or suggesting something like doing out to dinner - all it takes is a little bit of initial initiate from you. And like everything in life practice practice practice
- prox 4y agoI used to have a friend (we moved countries so we don’t talk as much) and she was just a natural. Whether it was just making conversation, defusing tension or suggesting we could do work, it just rolled of the tongue. I tried to learn from it, but some are just naturals at it and I will never have that same level of ease and charm. I echo what you say about maintaining friendships, having two people invested in a friendship is the best thing.
