1 Identify your goals

Before you start reaching out to people from other sectors, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. What are your interests, skills, and values? What are the issues or causes that you care about? What are the gaps or challenges that you face in your current work or projects? By answering these questions, you can identify your goals and the types of people who can help you reach them.

Una vez en el trabajo me culparon por algo que no hice y tuve que ense?arles que no deben juzgar sin conocer la causa o quien lo hiso. Mis habilidades como Ingeniero Agropecuario las desarrollé desde ni?o tenia ese afán por conocer el mundo de la flora y fauna y ahora me desarrollo como FreeLancer en realización de proyectos de estudiantes de tecnología e Ingeniería y Medio Ambiente. También me gusta ense?ar todo respecto a mi área de estudio y es muy bueno compartir conocimiento.

Expanding your network across sectors can be daunting but highly rewarding. Start by identifying common interests or goals that transcend industries. Attend events or join groups where professionals from different sectors converge. Embrace diversity and actively seek out connections with varied backgrounds. Engage in meaningful conversations, offer assistance, and be open to learning from others' perspectives. Remember, building cross-sector relationships fosters innovation and opens doors to new opportunities.

2 Research potential contacts

Once you have your goals in mind, you can start looking for potential contacts who work in different sectors but have relevant expertise, experience, or connections. You can use various sources to find them, such as online platforms, publications, events, or referrals. For example, you can join LinkedIn groups, follow blogs or podcasts, attend webinars or conferences, or ask your existing contacts for introductions. The key is to do your homework and learn as much as you can about the people you want to connect with.

3 Reach out with value

When you contact someone from another sector, you want to make a good impression and show that you are genuinely interested in them and their work. You can do this by reaching out with value, meaning that you offer something useful or relevant to them, such as information, feedback, appreciation, or support. For example, you can share an article or a resource that they might find helpful, comment on their work or achievements, or offer to help them with a problem or a project. This way, you can start a conversation and build rapport.

I've been reaching out to people and examining their interests. Sharing some common resources according to their interests that might be useful to them can be a very good asset for building a sense of trust.

4 Follow up and stay in touch

Networking is not a one-time event, but a long-term process. To maintain and grow your relationships with people from other sectors, you need to follow up and stay in touch regularly. You can do this by sending a thank-you note after a meeting or a call, checking in on their progress or updates, inviting them to join your network or events, or introducing them to other contacts who might benefit them. The goal is to provide value and show that you care.

After having a meeting with someone, it is essential to drop them a message of thankyou or anything you are concerned about the conversation you had with them. This helps in keeping the conversations going and staying in touch for a genuine connection.

Someone once said to me: “hey, we’re friends now, use my cell and text me if you want to connect.” Treating a prospective power partner like you would treat a friend, while still keeping professional, is an effective approach. It allows them to open up.

5 Seek feedback and advice

One of the benefits of networking across sectors is that you can learn from different perspectives and experiences. To do this, you need to be open-minded and curious, and seek feedback and advice from your contacts. You can ask them about their challenges and successes, their insights and opinions, their recommendations and resources, or their suggestions and tips. By doing this, you can gain valuable knowledge and skills, improve your performance and impact, and strengthen your trust and credibility.

Feedback is a gift. Share feedback when something someone does is great or terrible. Be respectful & ask yourself how you would want to receive that feedback. In the same vein- don’t be afraid to ask for feedback. I make it a habit when speaking in front of a group to ask someone I know in the audience to be on the lookout for feedback. “Hey- you know I’m always trying to get better… Would you mind keeping an eye out for one or two things you like about my presentation and even one or two things I can improve on?”

6 Collaborate and co-create

The ultimate goal of networking across sectors is to collaborate and co-create solutions for the common good. You can do this by identifying opportunities and projects that align with your goals and values, and that require the input and contribution of different sectors. You can then invite your contacts to join you, or join them, in working on these initiatives. By doing this, you can leverage your diverse skills and resources, create synergies and innovations, and amplify your impact and influence.
