1 Identify your goals

Before you start networking, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how you can contribute. Do you want to find a specific type of teaching job, such as online, private, or public? Do you want to learn more about the local education system, curriculum, or culture? Do you want to share your expertise, experience, or resources with other teachers? Having a clear goal will help you focus your networking efforts and communicate your value proposition.

The goal is very important. What type of roles and responsibilities is one willing to shoulder / consider. In case of a new culture, it is important to understand the culture. In a number of cases, it is very helpful to be present there. Being present there increases the chance of success.

Local Community Engagement: Attend local educational events, workshops, or seminars to meet educators and administrators. Join professional groups or associations related to education in that culture. Utilize Online Platforms: Engage in online forums, social media groups, and professional networks specific to educators in the new culture. LinkedIn and education-focused websites can be valuable. Connect with Alumni or Expats: Reach out to alumni networks from your alma mater or connections who have experience teaching in that culture. They can provide insights and potentially introduce you to relevant contacts.

2 Research your options

Once you have a goal, you need to research the best ways to reach it. You can use online platforms, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, to find and follow relevant groups, organizations, or individuals in your target culture. You can also look for local events, such as workshops, seminars, or conferences, where you can meet other teachers and education professionals face-to-face. You can also ask your existing contacts, such as former colleagues, mentors, or friends, for referrals or introductions to people who can help you.

LinkedIn, with almost a billion global professionals, is THE playground for "anything" that you need. 1. There's an intuitive way and there's an effective way to do it. 2. The platform helps you to find people that could possibly help you via Company/People profiles/Groups, etc. 3. It's all about building relationships -- that's key! (Without it, you're just another in the majority group of users who "throws up" on strangers with your agenda, not effective to get you what you need).

3 Build rapport and trust

When you network, you are not just exchanging information or asking for favors. You are also building rapport and trust with your potential contacts. To do this, you need to be respectful, curious, and genuine. Respect the cultural norms and etiquette of your target culture, such as how to greet, address, or thank someone. Be curious about their background, interests, and challenges, and ask open-ended questions. Be genuine about your intentions, expectations, and needs, and avoid being pushy or arrogant.

4 Follow up and stay in touch

Networking is not a one-time event. It is a continuous process of maintaining and strengthening your relationships. After you meet someone, you should follow up with them within a few days, preferably with a personalized message that reminds them of your conversation and expresses your appreciation. You should also stay in touch with them regularly, by sharing useful resources, updates, or feedback, or by inviting them to join other events or groups. You should also offer your help or support when they need it, and show that you value their input and collaboration.

5 Expand your network

As you network, you will discover new opportunities and connections that can help you achieve your goals. You should not limit yourself to one group or channel, but expand your network by exploring different sources and perspectives. You can do this by asking for referrals from your existing contacts, by joining cross-cultural or interdisciplinary groups or events, or by creating your own platform or project that showcases your skills and attracts others. You should also diversify your network by connecting with people from different backgrounds, roles, or levels of experience.

Networking and being in right groups is very important. As they say - if you hang around with five best footballers, you could be the sixth one. If you hang around with five best cinema actors, you could be the sixth one. If you hang around with five best writers, you could be the sixth one. And by logical extrapolation, if you hang around with five not so desirable people,...... So, choice of company matters. Thid is facilitated by networking. Go out there, find 'em, rub shoulders with the best in your field and see yourself grow. But, as you grow, don't forget others behind you. Stretch oiy your hand, n bring them along. They will be the next rung of professionals who can make the entire community and network sustainable.

6 Adapt and learn

Networking in a new culture is a learning experience that can help you grow as a teacher and as a person. You should be open to feedback, criticism, and new ideas, and be willing to adapt your approach and style to suit different situations and preferences. You should also reflect on your progress and challenges, and seek ways to improve your networking skills and outcomes. You should also celebrate your achievements and acknowledge your contributions, and be grateful for the support and opportunities that networking provides.

There is a quote in my language which roughly translates to - Keep your critics close to your heart so that you can improve upon your shortcomings This is a great way to improve So, don't take it to heart if you get criticised but DO take it to your heart and in a way 'vow' to get rid of the shortcomings. Another super quote - as an answer to this question : what is the difference between coal and diamond (both Carbon) A diamond is the coal that handled pressure well So, remember, you are a diamond, that just needs a bit of polishing (being offered by your critics). #happy.succes
