Create a support network for yourself from "summary" of The New Corner Office by Laura Vanderkam
Building a support network is crucial for success in any endeavor. The people you surround yourself with can provide advice, offer perspective, and lend a helping hand when needed. This network can consist of colleagues, mentors, friends, and family members who can provide different types of support depending on the situation. Colleagues within your industry can be invaluable resources for bouncing ideas off of, providing feedback on projects, and sharing best practices. Mentors can offer guidance based on their own experiences and help you navigate complex situations. Friends and family members can offer emotional support, helping you maintain a healthy work-life balance. When building your support network, consider the strengths and expertise of each individual. You may have different people you turn to for different types of support. For example, you may have a colleague who is great at brainstorming ideas, a mentor who is skilled at negotiating tricky situations, and a friend who is always there to lend an ear when you need to vent. It's important to cultivate these relationships by being a supportive network member in return. Offer your own expertise and advice when asked, listen actively when others need to talk, and be willing to lend a hand when someone in your network needs help.- A strong support network can help you navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and maintain a sense of balance in your life. By surrounding yourself with people who can offer different types of support, you can increase your chances of achieving your goals and feeling fulfilled in both your personal and professional life.
