Networking and Creativity
Did you think networking is just an effort to build up your contact list from nothing? 🤔
An exercise for more business opportunities?✨
The reality is a lot more fun!🎊
When you work to better your network, you grow more productive and increase your creative thinking potential 🌟
But while you are busy networking, you miss out on one fundamental truth 😳
The truth is that you are not building your own network 🎆
But you are embedded in one massive network.🎇
You are just a tiny part of it❗
You are only learning to navigate through the network 🚤
When you understand you are part of one giant network, you are more productive and creative 🌈
Research done by David Burkus has shown that we tend to gravitate towards people with similar ideas.👯♂️
This sameness in relationships decreases our creativity.⬇️
So what can you do❓
Reverse this trend❗
🔆Approach your network with a mindset open to change and risk-taking.
🔆Remember, you are part of a giant network.
🔆Reach out beyond your close-knit groups.
🔆Network and discuss ideas with people outside your field.
🔆Shake up your old connections.👨🦳
🔆Network and collaborate with new connections.👩🦱
🔆Avoid the complacency that results from settling into routines.🤨
Use your full range of creativity for more productivity, praise, promotions and pay 🌟
