Here's how you can enhance your networking and professional relationships through confidence.

Few are a few points to remember when trying to build trust - Transparency Honesty Knowing what you know and being clear about it A sense of accountability and ownership Integrity

Building strong professional relationships involves more than just expertise and experience. It's about understanding people's needs, fostering trust, and being impactful. Remember, confidence isn't always about being the smartest; it's about knowing who you are and building bridges of connection. Trust is hard to establish and easily broken, so nurture it continuously.

In addendum... - Trust cannot be faked or mimicked. - Trust requires consistency; you either are or aren't trustworthy. - Building trust is a decision. It's about you. Not anything or anybody else, essentially In building trust, one must commit themselves to that standard. It's deeper than a concept and should be approached and practiced as a fundamental piece of your brand, work, business, profession, product and being. Trust is dynamic, as it's an action one can possess, while simultaneously earn from others. It's never to be taken lightly and should be a key ingredient in whatever you are establishing or building.

Building trust is indeed fundamental to establishing meaningful professional relationships. From my experience, trust isn’t just about keeping promises; it’s also about showing consistency in your values and actions. Whether you’re navigating a new business partnership or fostering long-term client relationships, the effort you put into being transparent and reliable will pay off tremendously. For example, in my current role, I’ve seen firsthand how being proactive in communication and addressing concerns promptly has not only strengthened relationships but also opened up new opportunities for collaboration. It’s a continuous journey, but the rewards of a trust-based relationship are invaluable.

Before building a networks in proffectional life we should always be conscious and transparent with the people whom we are associated with. Without these 2 things, you can't build your network. Our attitude must be in serving not in the mood of getting something. Confidence comes when you are always be same from inside and outside even you will never feel exhausted and disgusting. Sometime we became off mood which provok rebellious and evil nature at that moment we should not engage with the people in general. Or even a person otherwise it may be provoken. So always be satisfied and happy by being transparent with your cleints and whom you are associated, this will make you truthful and people will always love you and appreciate you.

Hablar con claridad es un pilar esencial en la comunicación profesional y en la construcción de relaciones efectivas. En LinkedIn, redactar publicaciones y mensajes con un lenguaje claro y conciso mejora la receptividad de nuestra audiencia. Además, es importante ser específico y evitar la ambigüedad; esto no solo facilita la comprensión, sino que también muestra respeto por el tiempo de nuestros contactos. La claridad en la comunicación también implica ser transparente sobre nuestros objetivos y expectativas, lo cual es vital para establecer relaciones basadas en la confianza. Practicar la escucha activa y pedir retroalimentación asegura que nuestro mensaje se ha entendido correctamente.

La comunicación es la herramienta y un pilar fundamental para la interacción y la construcción de relaciones sociales- humanas más efectivas. Hablar y/o escribir de la manera más clara y coherente posible, atendiendo a las características de la otra persona, logrará acercarte más a ellas para interactuar, compartir y proponer ideas, e inclusive desarrollarlas en proyectos y emprendimientos para alcanzar objetivos juntos.

Hablar con claridad en la construcción de una red de contactos o en el alcance del servicio que proporcionamos a clientes y contratistas es como limpiar un cristal empa?ado: de repente, todo se vuelve transparente y comprensible. Cuando articulas tus ideas sin jerga ni ambigüedades, es como si estuvieras abriendo una ventana que permite a los demás ver exactamente quién eres y qué valor aportas.

As a woman executive in the construction industry, I had to learn quickly how to convey a message directly and clearly. My staff coming to me to edit important documents or messages became so commonplace that they made my name a verb, meaning to improve any written message!

Enhancing your networking and professional relationships through confidence involves several key strategies. Speak clearly and concisely to ensure your ideas are understood and valued. Use positive body language, such as maintaining eye contact and offering a firm handshake, to convey confidence. Be prepared for meetings and networking events by researching attendees and relevant topics, allowing you to contribute meaningfully. Show genuine interest in others by asking thoughtful questions, and don’t hesitate to share your expertise. Follow up with new contacts to solidify relationships, and always seek feedback to improve your skills. Authenticity and a positive attitude will attract and build trust with others.

My height has always been a feature people have felt entitled to comment on, but as I've grown my profession and self-confidence, I'm proud to walk tall and take up space. Eye contact is proven over and over again to be a skill with compounding benefits, so I practice that while also avoiding fake smiles!

El lenguaje corporal es como la portada de un libro: antes de que alguien se adentre en su contenido, ya ha formado una impresión inicial. Al mantener una postura erguida, es como si estuvieras mostrando una portada firme y bien dise?ada, indicando profesionalismo y seguridad. El contacto visual actúa como un título llamativo, capturando la atención y estableciendo una conexión directa. Un apretón de manos firme es como el prólogo, estableciendo el tono y anticipando una interacción significativa. La sonrisa, similar a una ilustración cautivadora en la portada, invita a la apertura y la amistad, sugiriendo que el contenido será igualmente agradable y accesible.

El lenguaje corporal es un componente crucial en la comunicación efectiva y en la construcción de relaciones profesionales. En entornos virtuales, como las videollamadas, es importante estar consciente de nuestra expresión facial y gestos, ya que estos también comunican nuestro interés y compromiso. En LinkedIn, aunque no se puede transmitir el lenguaje corporal directamente, se puede reflejar a través de fotos de perfil y publicaciones en las que aparezcamos. Mostrar un lenguaje corporal positivo en nuestras imágenes y videos puede fortalecer la percepción que otros tienen de nosotros, ayudando a construir una red de contactos basada en la confianza y el respeto mutuo.

My personal experience in networking is that I always find authentic body language more honest and likeable than extremely friendly or overly self-confident behavior. The fact that someone is more reserved, more shy, simply has a quieter voice or has a different mother tongue and struggles with language barriers does not make this person any less competent in my eyes. Nevertheless, it is important that your body language symbolizes that you want to get in touch with someone at this moment and are looking for a conversation.

El cuerpo es tan inteligente en sí mismo que, con el lenguaje corporal ya estamos comunicando nuestro Ser, Estar y Actuar. Con tan solo observar a una persona mientras ésta habla, su gestualidad y ademanes también comunican. A nivel de los medios digitales, las fotografías, los emoticones que utilizan, son también una manera de comunicar, con la cual puede descubrirse mucho más el Ser, Estar y Actuar de las personas.

People fill if You fully engaged in a meeting and/or in an issue understanding and solving. If You only physically present in a meeting, but not engaged mentally it is clearly visible and transparent to other involved people. One time not fully engagement might affect relationship and networking.

When you have the opportunity to network and meet new people or reconnect with those in your community, you should take it! It can feel intimidating for many reasons, not the least of which is to consider how you might get clients or customers from attending an event. What I learned after many years of networking changed my perspective. I now attend events to circulate, tell others what I do, get reacquainted to others I have met before, and find out about what others are doing. What I have found in my own coaching business is that attending these events and letting people know what I do has created a pipeline of referrals to me and requests for speaking engagements. Each bit of exposure has a ripple effect and now I embrace networking.

Participar activamente en nuestra red de contactos es fundamental para fortalecer relaciones profesionales sólidas. Comentar publicaciones, compartir contenido valioso y contribuir con ideas en grupos y foros demuestra nuestro compromiso con la comunidad y nuestra disposición a colaborar. Además, es importante ser receptivo a las interacciones de otros, respondiendo a mensajes y comentarios de manera oportuna y respetuosa. La participación activa no solo nos permite establecer conexiones significativas, sino que también nos brinda la oportunidad de aprender y crecer profesionalmente al interactuar con personas con diferentes perspectivas y experiencias.

Plan ahead, leave your phone on 'do not disturb' in your bag, and be fully present in the moment. As it notes, this means that others will see you are Actively listening and interested, and anyone they might refer to you now and in the future, you will give the same attention. Relationships are key in networking. The ones you build and nurture now will flourish in the future.

Networking is a two way exercise and time spent by self and others have to be well understood. Like us, others also spend their valuable time to be in that place and it is important to respect that time of ours and people already invested to make the best for everyone. Everyone and every person met in networking matters, at some point.

Cada ser humano posee Competencias: Talentos, Dones, Conocimientos, Habilidades, Capacidades, Técnicas, Estrategias, Actitudes, Aptitudes, Cultura..., que nos hace únicos y diferentes unos con otros, aunque tengan la misma profesión, las competencias son tan variadas que nos distinguen a unos de otros, es importante comprender que, ninguno es mejor que otro o está por encima del otro, solo que, cada persona, atendiendo a sus intereses, necesidades, deseos, expectativas, motivaciones, entre otros, se trazará sue?os, objetivos y metas a alcanzar, agregando valor a su profesión u oficio, con sus competencias y experiencias vividas.

La valeur de l'offre dépend de son adéquation au besoin conscient de l'interlocuteur. Pour bien répondre à un besoin, il faut conna?tre sa cible. Une fois cela fait, il faut définir un positionnement, une offre. Et plus important : il faut se confronter à la réalité. Proposer l'offre à toutes les personnes possibles. Pour, non pas vendre, mais obtenir du feedback et améliorer sa présentation, ses fonctions etc... Votre but doit être d'aiguiser votre offre, plut?t que de vendre.

Offering value in networking is a powerful strategy that can set you apart and establish meaningful connections. In my career, I’ve always aimed to contribute thoughtfully, whether by sharing industry insights or facilitating introductions between like-minded professionals. Seeing positive outcomes of these connections reinforces the importance of being a resource to others. It builds your reputation as someone who is genuinely interested in helping, which in turn, strengthens your professional network and opens up new opportunities.

El valor de la oferta es fundamental en la construcción de relaciones profesionales sólidas. En LinkedIn, es crucial comunicar claramente el valor que podemos aportar a través de nuestro perfil y contenido compartido. Esto incluye destacar nuestros conocimientos y experiencia, así como los beneficios tangibles que podemos ofrecer a quienes nos siguen o se conectan con nosotros. Además, es importante personalizar nuestra oferta según las necesidades específicas de cada contacto, mostrando un interés genuino en su éxito y bienestar. Al proporcionar un valor real y relevante, no solo establecemos relaciones duraderas, sino que también construimos una reputación sólida como profesionales confiables y expertos en nuestro campo

Offering value - Very important. We have to see how our presence or expertise or network can offer value and what's the big or small problem we can solve. If that's done, it's many steps of progress...

After meeting someone new, it's good practice to reach out in about a week with a friendly message to ensure they remember you. Simply express that you were glad to have met them. Avoid offering anything and focus on being genuinely kind.

Getting value from, and bringing value to a new connection hinges on continued follow-up. This will show your connections that you are genuinely interested in maintaining a professional connection with them, beyond a singular ask or favor. Keep track of when you connected. Follow up after a few weeks to let your connection know how things have been going for you, and to ask how it's been going for them. Keep each other apprised of developments, and continue to evolve with what specific support you are each able to offer to each other.

The Follow-up is one of the most important parts of networking. How many times have I given my card to people who have approached me or added them as a LinkedIn contact – and never heard from them again? Briefly state the context in which you spoke and get straight to the point where the conversation ended. If you or your organization has a contact management system, write down all the information about the contact. This is also part of a proper and sustainable follow-up.

Relancer est la clé. On a tendance à trop peu utiliser ce levier. De peur de passer pour quelqu'un de lourd. Or, il se trouve que c'est jusqu'à 30% de plus de "oui" à la première relance... On se prive de clients à ne pas relancer. Et on les prive de notre savoir-faire.

A mí me ha resultado útil realizar un seguimiento de mis contactos. Viene a ser similar a las relaciones con nuestros amigos, si las abandonas las acabas perdiendo.

1. Focus on the outcome how your time and effort can help others. 2. Carry a smile not just for sake, let's bee in your intentions 3. Have one to one eye contact 4. Understand their challenges and help them to live their unlived life. 5.Very most important - Be happy what you do and impact the people and environment rather they impact you.

Be ATV , authentic, transparent & vulnerable. Don’t be fake. People want a genuine experience, with a genuine facilitator The risk is—if you are ATV , not everyone will like you. And that’s OK. If someone doesn’t like you, it’s about them.

These standards are a great starting point and can be followed like a set of instructions, however they lack the human aspect of making deep, long lasting work connections that can not only lead to open doors in your career or theirs but also enrich your growth, friendships and self-development. My advice, to add the human aspect, is to bring the vulnerable part of yourself to these steps. If it feels awkward, try acknowledging that with the person you meet. If these steps are new to you, try sharing these very steps and how you are trying to step outside your comfort zone. If this is old hat, try removing your "work" desired outcome and go about it as you would by making new friends.

When networking, there are many little things that you should make a note of – especially when you network in languages that differentiate between a formal address and an informal "you". How does the person want to be addressed, by first name or surname? Do they give a LinkedIn contact directly, or would they prefer an email? How does the person appear, rather formal or informal, also visually? Have they been approached by many people and therefore may not remember every encounter well? All this information helps with a proper follow-up and keeping the person in the network even after the first contact. All of this should always be noted, as a good contact database is essential.

La actitud lo es todo. Una actitud positiva, afirmativa, generando oportunidades, minimizando vulnerabilidades, creciendo en su ser personal, atrae. En el mundo de las actitudes la empatía , la resiliencia, la autoafirmación necesariamente logra más contactos. Hay habilidades necesitan oportunidades, las destrezas campeonatos, los talentos brillan y es ese reflejo lo que genera contactos.
