How to Network and Build Relationships Online Like a Pro | E46 J. Kelly Hoey

Today’s guest is the spunky J. Kelly Hoey, author of Build Your Dream Network: Forging Powerful Relationships In A Hyper-Connected World. Along with being an author, Kelly is a sought out speaker for her networking insights.

 

She also has some pretty cool accolades including:

-Forbes’ 1 of 5 Women Changing the World of VC/Entrepreneurship

-Business Insider’s 1 of the 100 Most Influential Tech Women On Twitter

-Inc.’s 1 of 10 Most Well-Connected People in New York City's Startup Scene

Crazy enough, Kelly started her career as a corporate lawyer from Toronto. She credits her network for the ability to transform her career but I’ll credit Kelly for the ability to learn such an essential professional superpower so early on.

In this episode, we get into her journey on how she began to learn network-building skills. You’ll also learn why networking online isn’t much different than networking in real life, 3 areas to focus on if you want to network better, and why the Give Give Get archetype is an ideal way to approach networking.
