Welcome to The Woman’s Career Podcast. Today, we’re diving straight into a powerhouse topic: how to network effectively as a woman in the modern workplace, whether you light up a room or find yourself anxious at the thought of introducing yourself at a crowded event. This episode isn’t just about building a contact list—it’s about creating real connections that can drive your career forward, especially in industries where women’s voices need to be heard.
Let’s start with a fact from the WomenTech Network: over 80 percent of senior women leaders use networking to drive their career success, and they do it proactively. They don’t just rely on contacts from their current or past jobs—they’re attending executive networking events, speaking at summits, and reaching beyond their usual circles. So wherever you are in your journey, stepping outside your comfort zone can make a world of difference. But it’s not just about showing up. Preparation is key, especially if you’re more comfortable behind the scenes. Before you attend a networking event—whether it’s a conference, professional group, or a virtual meetup—take time to understand what it’s about, figure out who will be there, and set clear goals for who you’d like to meet. Even create a shortlist of topics or questions so you’re ready to break the ice. Your elevator pitch? Practice it until it feels like second nature.
Now, for my introverts: networking doesn’t have to mean working a crowded room. It can start with just one genuine conversation and grow from there. Maybe you’re better in one-on-one situations or prefer connecting online first. Volunteering for projects or joining resource groups at work are also great low-pressure ways to build relationships. According to insights from Deborah Gray at Central Michigan University, women often excel when they network through shared activities—think joining boards or community groups where collaboration happens naturally and relationships form organically.
For my extroverts: use your superpower for creating energy and connections, but remember to listen just as much as you talk. Networking is a two-way street. The best connections come when you focus not only on what someone can do for you, but what you can do for them. Introduce people, offer your help, and foster a spirit of generosity—this builds trust and a community that benefits everyone.
After every event, don’t forget the follow-up. The most important part of networking is maintaining your connections. Collect contact information, reach out with a thank you or a quick follow-up message, and keep those relationships alive by checking in periodically. Build a habit of refreshing your network, even if it’s just sending an article or an encouraging note. Over time, this steady nurturing pays off.
Mentorship is another secret weapon. Less than a third of women have mentors, and yet, those who do experience greater promotions, project leadership, and board seats. Seek out mentors and be open to mentoring others. This creates a virtuous cycle that lifts everyone.
Whatever your style, the key is consistency. Make networking part of your daily work life, not a once-in-a-while panic move. Volunteer for assignments outside your comfort zone, schedule regular coffee chats, and always be open to meeting someone new.
