Starting Up Podcast - episode 6 with Dominique Aspey, Ecosystems Manager @ LJMU Centre for Entrepreneurship on making networking work for you
Episode 6
Sunday, 20 September, 2020
You are not alone when it comes to not always knowing how to approach 'networking'. Whatever stage you are at with developing your research, your start-up idea or applying for that next dream job - how and when to network is a question that we think needs to be broken down with some humanity and warmth brought into the mix. And who better to sit down and chat with than our very own Dominique Aspey, Ecosystems Manager @ LJMU Centre for Entrepreneurship. Her extensive experience of getting out there either face to face or more recently online will give you the low down on simple tips and tricks to put into practice when breaking down how you will and won't do networking. Her values-driven approach to showing up for others, offering help and guidance plus being willing to step out of her comfort zone will give you more confidence and motivation to try out networking now and in the future. Recorded in Aug 2020 during lockdown she talks through strategies to implement now whilst more networking, conferencing and fairs are online. She is clear though that whether online or face to face being authentic, seeking to build trust and being open to opportunities are something anyone can apply. What will you do differently after listening to this episode? How will you re-frame networking so it works for who you really are?
