Hey there Reader, I see you killin' it!
β
August is here and it's all about...
Making connections and building our professional communities.
I want to share a quick story with you. Recently, I worked with a client who felt pretty isolated in her private practice. She was struggling to find her community and felt that her caseload and mental health were suffering.
We dove into some networking strategies, and slowly but surely, she began to put herself out there. She attended local events, joined online groups, and even hosted a few workshops. The transformation was incredible! Not only did her professional network expand, but her sense of belonging and her client base grew too. πͺβ¨
Networking can be a game-changer, and Iβm here to help you do just that. To kick things off, Iβm thrilled to invite you to our Free SUP and Kayaking Networking Social on Lake Lanier this month! Itβs the perfect chance to connect with fellow therapists in a relaxed, fun environment. Donβt miss out on this opportunity to make meaningful connections while enjoying the great outdoors. πΆπ

Networking Tips & Journaling Prompts πποΈ
Networking might seem daunting, but itβs a powerful tool for growth. Here are some fresh tips and journaling prompts to help you make the most of your networking efforts.
Networking Tips
- Find Your Tribe: Look for niche-specific groups or events where you can meet like-minded professionals. The more tailored the group, the more meaningful the connections.
- Leverage Social Media: Join forums or social media groups related to your specialty. Engage in discussions, share insights, and build relationships online.
- Host Your Own Event: Consider organizing a small meetup or webinar on a topic youβre passionate about. Itβs a great way to attract people with similar interests and establish yourself as a thought leader.
- Follow Up: After meeting someone, send a personalized follow-up message. Mention something specific from your conversation to show that you genuinely value the connection.
Journaling Prompts
- Reflect on your current networking efforts: Whatβs been working well? What challenges have you faced? How can you improve your approach?
- Visualize your ideal professional network: Who are the key people or types of professionals youβd like to connect with? How can you start building relationships with them?
- Describe a recent networking interaction: What did you learn from it? How did it impact your perspective on building professional connections?
I hope these tips and prompts inspire you to take your networking to the next level. Remember, building a supportive community doesnβt happen overnight, but with persistence and a positive mindset, youβll see incredible results.
