Building a Network That Actually Works for You with Marilynn Joyner

Описание: Networking is one of the most talked-about career strategies, and one of the most misunderstood. If the word makes you think of awkward cocktail parties, forced small talk, or reaching out to people only when you need something, this episode is about to change that.

In Part 2 of this two-part series, Her Workplace Founder & CEO Marilynn Joyner digs into the strategy of building a network that genuinely works for you.

She covers why your next career opportunity is probably coming from a weak tie (not your closest connections), how to build a Relationship Map that shows you exactly where your gaps are, and the eight principles of intentional, authentic networking that she’s used to grow Her Workplace.

Marilynn also gets into the power of proximity and shares practical, low-pressure ways to reconnect with people you’ve lost touch with, without it feeling weird or transactional.

Whether you’re building your network from scratch, rebuilding after a pivot, or looking to finally activate the connections you already have, this episode will give you a clear, actionable path forward.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there—we cover the visibility foundation that makes everything in this episode land even harder.
