"Networking is the process or practice of building up or maintaining informal relationships, especially with people whose friendship could bring advantages such as job or business opportunities."- World English Dictionary
Although I am clearly aware of my purpose for networking, crafting my personal 30 second commercial has proven really difficult to do. I plan to remedy this by discussing with close friends who are either students or professionals on how to effectively gain this vital networking skill. Additionally, I plan to use the internet as a resource to eloquently and professionally create my personal pitch.
I just had my mission call to serve in the Illinois Chicago mission. Networking would be an invaluable tool in my role as a missionary. I believe my ability to connect with the members and investigators there would be a strong indicator of how successful I become on the mission field.
I am a religious person. As such the first step I intend taking to overcome my fears is to be worthy of the companionship of the Holy ghost and ask for strength from Heavenly Father. I would then follow this by studying how others have overcome these fears from books as well as from the real life experiences of the leaders I come in contact with. I would then strive to put what I've learnt to practice. I am confident this three step plan would enable me emerge as someone awesome at networking.
