ABOUT THIS EPISODE
New podcast! Now that we are coming into a time when it's relatively safe to get back into a face-to-face meeting scenario, we're chatting all things networking on the pod with my lovely guest. With a career that's spanned 35 years and three countries Siobhán Fitzpatrick knows that a strong network works magic for careers, business and social life.
Siobhán learnt first-hand how to build – and sustain – a network of contacts in NY, London and later in Dublin, and pivoted her career in 2012, first as a Career Transition Coach before focussing on professional networking.
She launched the first international franchise of the Women in Business Network (WIBN) in 2016, and also launched an annual conference, The Networking Summit, in 2018.
More recently, Siobhán launched The Networking Hub - an online interactive platform for business owners, leaders and entrepreneurs from diverse sectors and backgrounds within the B2B arena.
We chatted all things networking and communication together, including:
- how growing your network impacts your business
- Siobhán's opinion on the most important aspect of networking
- what strategies Siobhán would recommend for new business owners to grow their network
- the research Siobhán recommends to ensure you're in the right network for you and for your business
- the best way to get your business known amongst your network
- the difference in the way men and women network
- the myths Siobhán wants to dispel about networking
- what tips Siobhán would give the shy or introverted amongst us to build their network
Her book recommendation is brilliant too!
