How can you get the right allies? Look beyond the obvious.

Casting a Wider Net: Engaging External Mentors In my latest #newsletter, I talk about The Power of Allies. In addition to allies within your organization, it’s important to reach out within your industry. Beyond the obvious connections, consider making a wish list of allies outside your organization. Look for people whose accomplishments and working styles resonate with you and are a year or two farther down the road. Platforms like LinkedIn are invaluable for identifying and reaching out to these contacts. Try to connect via someone they know. Then send a concise introductory message, asking for a 15-minute discussion focused on a specific topic.  ·      One Question. ·      15 Minutes. Then ask them if you can check in a couple of months later to tell them how you used their advice. Set a date, if possible. Here’s the link to the main newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g5XCebQe
