1 Identify your objectives

Before you start networking with other mentees or coachees, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve from the interaction. Do you want to learn more about a specific topic, industry, or skill? Do you want to get feedback on your progress, challenges, or opportunities? Do you want to find potential collaborators, partners, or referrals? Do you want to expand your network and build relationships? Having a specific and realistic objective will help you focus your efforts and communicate your value proposition to others.

The best ways to network is to LISTEN, GIVE and NOT EXPECT ANYTHING in return! Your heart will show and people will get to know, like and trust you through your actions.

One thing worth remembering about networking is that people are building relationships. Relationships are built on trust, honesty and credibility by doing your research, pitching your ideas, express your interest and collaborate with individuals to reach the end goal. Inclusion comes to mind. People love to be included and valued and that's when they are most likely to open doors for you. The biggest problem in a company is that no one tells you what to do. They outline in the job description a lot of bullet points but to what purpose? What is next? How is your work making an impact? How are you growing and developing your career and skills by doing the same thing for 20/30 years? Networking is great to if done with a purpose.

2 Find relevant platforms and events

Once you have defined your objectives, you need to look for platforms and events where you can meet and interact with other mentees or coachees. Depending on your preferences, availability, and budget, you can choose from online or offline options, such as social media groups, forums, blogs, podcasts, webinars, newsletters, online courses, workshops, conferences, meetups, or networking sessions. You can also ask your mentor or coach for recommendations or introductions to their network of mentees or coachees. The key is to find platforms and events that are relevant to your objectives, interests, and niche, and that offer opportunities for meaningful engagement.

3 Prepare your introduction and questions

To make a good impression and start a conversation with other mentees or coachees, you need to prepare your introduction and questions in advance. Your introduction should briefly summarize who you are, what you do, and why you are interested in networking with them. Your questions should be open-ended, relevant, and respectful, and aim to elicit their experiences, insights, and opinions. For example, you can ask them about their goals, challenges, successes, learnings, tips, resources, or recommendations. You can also share your own experiences, insights, and opinions, but avoid dominating the conversation or giving unsolicited advice.

4 Follow up and stay in touch

After you have networked with other mentees or coachees, you need to follow up and stay in touch with them to maintain and strengthen the relationship. You can send them a thank-you note, express your appreciation for their time and input, and restate your objectives and value proposition. You can also ask them for their preferred mode and frequency of communication, and suggest ways to collaborate, support, or refer each other. You can also share useful information, resources, or opportunities with them, or invite them to join other platforms or events that you find valuable. The key is to be genuine, respectful, and consistent in your communication, and to offer value and reciprocity.

I do not consider my fellow coaches to be competitors; rather, they are coopetors, a word mashup of competitors and cooperators. My largest project was a referral from a coopetor and I was able to return the favor. We LinkedIn coaches talk among ourselves and assist each other with issues that are unclear or difficult to solve. We speak globally frequently, greet new coaches as they join, and congratulate each other for accomplishments. It’s a cordial club of coopetors that I rely on.

5 Seek feedback and improve

Networking with other mentees or coachees is not only a way to learn from them, but also a way to learn about yourself. You can seek feedback from them on your networking skills, such as your introduction, questions, communication style, listening skills, or follow-up. You can also ask them for feedback on your goals, challenges, opportunities, or progress. You can use this feedback to identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and to adjust your networking strategy accordingly. You can also track your networking results, such as the number of contacts, referrals, collaborations, or learnings that you have gained from networking with other mentees or coachees.

In my opinion, this is the most important part of having a mentor. Chances are, your mentor is pretty senior & experienced. Meaning they're good at their job and went through all the trials and tribulations. They know what it takes to become successful in your niche. So celebrate the positive feedback, but appreciate constructive criticism as well. That's a great way to learn what it takes to be successful.
