1 Why diversity matters

Diversity is not just a buzzword or a box to tick. It is a source of strength, creativity, and innovation. A diverse network can expose you to different perspectives, experiences, and ideas, challenging your assumptions and expanding your horizons. It can also help you develop cultural awareness, empathy, and adaptability, which are essential for working in a global and dynamic environment. A diverse network can also open doors to new opportunities, as you can tap into different communities, industries, and markets.

To build a practical, diverse, and inclusive professional network, start by connecting with individuals from various sectors, job roles, and cultural backgrounds. Make a conscious effort to include those often underrepresented. Engage in diversity-focused events and groups both online and offline to broaden your reach. Use social media and networking platforms not just to expand your circle but also to learn from different perspectives. Be genuinely open to discussions on diversity and inclusion, applying what you learn to make your network more welcoming. Actively support and advocate for the professional development of your contacts, helping create a network where everyone's contributions are recognized and valued.

Todas as provas de que é a diversidade torna um time e ambiente de trabalhado mais sadio, criativo e inovador. E naquele modelo antigo de trabalho era péssimo para o recrutador também: em muitas empresas (e esse foi meu caso), tinha requisitos absurdos como idade, faculdade de primeira linha e outros ainda piores... e eu precisava triar isso :(

Diversity has become weaponized in the corporate culture and is now a convenient way to cover up reverse bigotry and reverse discrimination.

2 How to diversify your network

Awareness of your own biases and preferences is a key first step to diversify your network. You may tend to gravitate towards people who are similar to you, but this can limit your exposure to different viewpoints and experiences. To break out of this tendency, you need to be intentional and proactive in reaching out to people who are different from you. Joining online or offline groups, forums, or events that cater to diverse audiences or topics is a great way to start. Additionally, seeking mentors, sponsors, or allies who can offer you guidance, support, or access to new networks can be beneficial. Finally, asking for introductions or referrals from your existing contacts who have diverse networks is a great way to expand your network even further.

Diversificar sua rede envolve deliberadamente buscar conex?es com pessoas de diferentes origens, culturas, áreas de atua??o e perspectivas. Isso pode ser feito participando de eventos e conferências diversas, grupos de interesse específico, associa??es profissionais, ou mesmo através de plataformas online, como redes sociais e fóruns. Buscar ativamente oportunidades para se envolver com pessoas de diferentes contextos e experiências ajuda a expandir seu círculo de contatos e a diversificar suas conex?es, o que pode levar a novas oportunidades, insights e colabora??es enriquecedoras.

Stop using diversity as an agenda and hire/promote people based on experience, knowledge, and merit. A person should earn advancement by excelling at their job not by fitting a criteria that checks a box on an HR form.

3 How to be inclusive in your network

Diversifying your network is not enough; you must also be inclusive. This requires respect, value, and engagement with your contacts to build trust, rapport, and loyalty, as well as foster a sense of belonging and community. Moreover, being inclusive helps to avoid stereotypes, assumptions, or misunderstandings that can harm relationships. To be inclusive in your network, actively and attentively listen to what your contacts have to say with genuine interest and curiosity. Ask open-ended questions, paraphrase what you heard, and give feedback or compliments. Be respectful and courteous in your communication and behavior while following the norms and etiquette of different cultures. Use appropriate titles, greetings, and sign-offs; avoid slang or jargon; and be mindful of time zones and holidays. Share your own stories and experiences authentically and vulnerably by telling your contacts about your challenges, successes, or goals. Finally, support and celebrate your contacts by showing appreciation and gratitude; for example, endorse their skills, recommend their work, congratulate their achievements, or thank them for their help.

Work towards maintaining a respectful work environment by showing you can be a team player and doing your fair share of the work. Stop playing the race or gender cards and expecting special treatment based on those factors alone.

Ser inclusivo em sua rede envolve criar um ambiente acolhedor e receptivo para pessoas de diversas origens, experiências e identidades. Uma maneira fundamental de promover a inclus?o é ouvir ativamente e valorizar as perspectivas e experiências de todos os membros da sua rede, garantindo que todas as vozes sejam ouvidas e respeitadas. Além disso, é importante reconhecer e combater qualquer forma de preconceito, discrimina??o ou exclus?o dentro da sua rede, promovendo a diversidade e a igualdade de oportunidades. Criar espa?os seguros, onde as pessoas se sintam confortáveis para compartilhar suas ideias e contribuir de maneira significativa, também é essencial para cultivar uma cultura inclusiva em sua rede.

5 How to measure your network

Finally, you need to measure your network to assess its diversity, inclusivity, and effectiveness. To do this, you can use tools or apps such as LinkedIn's Network Insights, Socilab, or InMaps to visualize the size, structure, and composition of your network. Additionally, set goals and track your progress and results. For instance, aim to connect with a certain number of people from different backgrounds each month and monitor how many referrals or leads you get from them. Furthermore, ask for feedback and testimonials from your contacts, and collect evidence of your impact and value. For example, request ratings on your communication or contribution and collect endorsements or case studies that show off your work.
