Let’s be real—when most people hear the word networking, their minds go straight to awkward small talk, forced smiles, and a pile of business cards collecting dust.

Sis, I feel you.

But what if I told you that networking isn’t about schmoozing or selling yourself? It’s about building genuine relationships—the kind that open doors, expand your opportunities, and surround you with people who actually want to see you win.

And that’s exactly what we’re breaking down in the latest episode of Corporate IT Girl: Rise, Shine, and Make ‘Em Remember You! 🎙️

In Episode 16: The Corporate Girl’s Connection Code: 5 Steps to Networking with Confidence, we’re throwing out the old-school networking rulebook and redefining what it really means to build powerful connections in your career.

✅ No more awkward convos.
✅ No more feeling like you have to “sell” yourself.
✅ Just real, authentic ways to meet people who support your growth.

Why Networking Really Matters (Even If You Hate It)

I know, I know—some of us would rather rewatch our most embarrassing Zoom meeting on loop than intentionally put ourselves out there to network. But here’s the deal:

📌 Your work is only part of your success—your relationships are what create real opportunities.

📌 The right connections can fast-track your growth, whether it’s landing a new role, getting invited into exclusive circles, or having someone advocate for your promotion.

📌 Networking doesn’t have to be transactional—it can be transformational. (Yes, I just got deep on you.)

And the best part? You don’t have to be an extrovert or a LinkedIn queen to do it. In this episode, I’m sharing 5 simple, zero-cringe steps to start networking in a way that feels natural, authentic, and aligned with who you are.

One Conversation Can Change Everything

Need proof? I’ve seen women go from stuck to soaring simply because they reached out, had a conversation, or joined a community that had their back. (Psst, have you joined my private FB group yet?)
