Coaching Thought | Steps to Building Your Network

This ‘Coaching Thought’ comes from the professional services book: How to Make Partner and Still Have a Life. What are the key steps in developing your network?

“Level 1: Identify – on your radar:
• You become aware of someone.
• No communication, either on-line or in real life, has yet taken place.
• Low trust.

Level 2: Connect – polite conversation:
• One-way or two-way communication is taking place, either online or in real life.
• Both sides are thinking, Do I like this person? and Can I see a benefit to continuing the conversation with this person?
• Low trust. Level

3: Engage – one-to-one conversation:
• Both of you commit to having a one-to-one conversation in real life to deepen the trust in your relationship.
• Increasing trust.
• Minimum level you need your relationship to get to, before you will both actively help each other.

Level 4: Collaborate – professional friends:
• Regular communication is taking place, via phone, e-mail, social media, face-to-face meetings.
• High trust. Often helping each other out.
• Your mentor needs to be at this level (or higher) for your relationship to be effective.

Level 5: Inner circle – personal friends:
• Your relationship is both a personal and professional relationship.
• High trust.
• You will regularly communicate on matters relating to work, home, mutual hobbies/ interests and family life.
• The friends, both inside and outside work, who are on your support team need to be at this relationship level.”

Coaching Thought | The Power of ‘Weak Ties’

This ‘Coaching Thought’ also comes from the LinkedIn book: The Start-up of You, and emphasises the importance of weak ties and looser connections, particularly in finding new jobs.

“There are many more looser connections and acquaintances who also play a role in your professional life. These are folks you meet at conferences, old classmates, co-workers in other divisions, or just interesting people with interesting ideas who you come upon in day-to-day life. "

"Weak ties in a career context were formally researched in 1973, when sociologist Mark Granovetter asked a random sample of Boston professionals who had just switched jobs how they found their new job."

"He summed up his conclusion in a paper appropriately called “The Strength of Weak Ties”: The friends you don’t know very well are the ones who refer winning jobs.”

Coaching Thought | Why Build Allies?

This ‘Coaching Thought’ comes from the LinkedIn book:  The Start-up of You, and emphasises the benefit of developing alliances and allies.

“An alliance is always an exchange, but not a transactional one. A transactional relationship is when your accountant files your tax returns and in exchange you pay him for his time. An alliance is when a co-worker needs last-minute help on Sunday night preparing for a Monday morning presentation, and even though you’re busy, you agree to go over to his house and help.”
