Last week, I revealed my revelation that I love taking in information and being in the right place at the right time to share what I know.

It turns out that being that person could actually lead to more authentic networking.

The point of networking (amazingly enough) is to build useful connections, reciprocal relationships. This means that you aren’t just looking for people who can help you; you’re also looking for people you can help.

A great way to do this is to keep yourself up to date on your own industry and nearby ones. Read about things that interest you outside your industry. Find ways to connect people you know with what you know.

You’ll feel less smarmy in your networking efforts, and you’ll help people at the same time. Win-win!
