Incredible Relationship Building/Networking Guide

Recently, I was given the task of creating a presentation for my colleagues on the topic of relationship building. Over the past seven years, I have successfully built an extensive network within my organization, including colleagues, adminstrators, and staff in several school districts. Additionally, attending multiple conferences, and communicating with vendors has significantly contributed to the growth of my network.

While researching for this presentation, I was thrilled to discover the PERFECT book that offers invaluable tips and practical examples on how to excel in network building. I found many of Rachel's experiences to be relatable. Not only does she provide tips on what to do to help build your network, but there is also a chapter regarding what not to do.

Rachel's book has provided me with the knowledge and confidence I need to present on this topic. Thanks Rachel!

Personal insights and relatable experiences

I really enjoyed the personal touch that Rachel conveyed with this book. it doesn't feel like you're being told what to do, or coached by someone that is just waiting to move to their next appointment. instead it feels like you are sitting down with a friend and mentor who truly wants to share the skills they've spent countless hours honing.
I don't find myself feeling like I network naturally like so many seem to. This book helped motivate me to continue putting intentional effort into my networking abilities, because I can see that even some of the best feel the same way I do.

Inspiring and helpful

Relationships at Work is a brilliant book with incredibly useful resources, including email examples (I usually find the subject line the most difficult part), ideas and tips to broaden a network, and ways to approach people who one has not met in person. The book feels like attending a symposium with an inspiring keynote speaker. It can be used as a resource where needed. It will remain on my bookshelf and I'm sure will be often referred to in the future.
