Great point Tamsin – being the ‘connector’ tends have loads of positive spin-off effects.

Probably something worthy of its own post.

Thanks again.

What works for me is to approach networking as a way to find people who might be able to help others that I know.

This gives me a reason to talk to others outside my area; makes me feel good if I can help make a connection; gives others a reason to appreciate me (without needing to sell to them); and, increases the liklihood of them doing the same for me.
