What a great first session for Newton Careers Week! 🙌 🔥 In the 'Fire up your relationship building strategies' workshop, our alums, Caspar Gross and Kwabena Ansah, gave their fellow alums an account of their relationship building experience. Here's some key takeaways: 🚀 Depth over breadth: Deepen relationships rather than just expanding how many you have. Kwabs says having 50 quality conversations among 5 individuals is more effective than 50 high-level conversations with 50 individuals. Also, the quality of introductions and connections with interesting individuals matters more than quantity. 🚀 Scale curiosity, not just numbers: The aim of networking is actually to scale curiosity. Expanding your network is important, but so is maintaining genuine interest and curiosity in the people you meet. It's less about how many people you know, more about how well you know them. 🚀 Broaden your definition of networking: Networking isn't limited to professional or familiar circles. It could happen with strangers and could be driven by your shared passions - for Caspar this has been climate, EDI and space. By understanding what someone's passionate about, you can build a stronger and more authentic connection. A great session and it's got us all fired up for more tomorrow! #NewtonCareersWeek #BuildingRelationships #Networking
