1 Benefits of a network

A career development network can offer numerous benefits, such as access to information, resources, and opportunities that may be difficult to find on your own. It can also provide feedback, advice, and guidance from experienced professionals, as well as support, encouragement, and motivation from people who are invested in your success. Moreover, a career development network can provide exposure, visibility, and recognition from influential people, as well as diversity, creativity, and innovation from people with different backgrounds.

In addition your network can advocate and sponsor your progress. They can invite you into presentations you would never otherwise have exposure to. They can recommend you to others and speak positively about you in rooms you are not in. This is one powerful benefit of a diverse yet strong network.

2 Types of network contacts

Network contacts come in all shapes and sizes, and depending on your career stage, goals, and needs, you may want to connect with different types. Contacts are people you know casually or professionally, but not well, and they can introduce you to new people and opportunities. Mentors have more experience and knowledge than you, and can offer guidance, feedback, and support. Peers are at a similar level or stage as you, and can share their insights, experiences, and resources. Lastly, sponsors have more power and influence than you, and can advocate for you, promote you, and endorse you in order to access high-level opportunities.

3 Assessing your network

Evaluating the effectiveness of your current network can be done by asking yourself some questions. For example, how diverse is your network? Do you have contacts from different industries, functions, backgrounds, and cultures? Additionally, is your network dynamic? Do you regularly communicate, interact, and engage with your contacts? You should also consider the balance of your network. Do you have a good mix of contacts, mentors, peers, and sponsors? Furthermore, is your network valuable to you? Are you getting the benefits that you need from it? Lastly, is your network reciprocal? Are you offering value and support to your network as well?

4 Improving your network

Based on your assessment, you can identify the areas where you need to improve your network. To help you do so, consider expanding your network by attending events, joining online communities, and asking for introductions. Additionally, strengthen your existing contacts by communicating regularly and offering value and support. Leverage your network to achieve career goals by asking for referrals, recommendations, and endorsements. Also, seek out mentors, peers, and sponsors who can help you grow and advance. Don't forget to share your achievements, challenges, and needs with your network.

5 Your network action plan

Creating a clear and realistic action plan is essential to make the most of your career development network. To start, define your career goals and needs. What do you want to achieve, learn, or improve? What kind of support, guidance, or resources do you need? Then, identify your network gaps and opportunities. Who are the people who can help you with your goals and needs? Who are the missing or underutilized contacts in your network? Lastly, plan your network activities and strategies. How will you reach out, connect, and engage with your contacts? How will you offer value and support to them? And how will you measure and evaluate your network outcomes?

Para ter um plano de rede visando sua carreira é preciso saber o que, como e quando quer. Com objetivo tra?ado é possível identificar suas lacunas e as oportunidades de melhorias tanto nas hard skills quanto nas soft skills. Paralelo a estas defini??es é fundamental ter estratégias de rede. Praticar o networking de qualidade, ampliar trocas de experiências, participar de eventos que contribuam com o seu objetivo. Com isto você vai oportunizar que sua rede o conhe?a, podendo até indicá-lo para eventos que impulsionar?o sua carreira.
