@hilaaltheinvestor: I was kindly invited to a gorgeous event curated by My Nawaab and @diamond.galore . They just renovated their banqueting hall in Manchester and it was stunning. A room full of female founders, creatives, entrepreneurs. And one thing that hit me leaving, the art of networking is something everyone should learn to master. It’s a skill you fine tune over the years. I absolutely love connecting with people from different industries. I take time with it. I listen. I build real relationships. And if it’s not a connection for me, it’ll be a connection for someone in my network. But the most vital part is following up. If you’ve got a contact list full of amazing people but you never check in, never follow up, those connections mean nothing. They just sit there. The relationships that actually turn into opportunities are the ones you nurture consistently.
