Define Your Goals
Before diving into the networking pool, clarify what you aim to achieve. Are you seeking industry insights, potential collaborators, or mentors? Knowing your goals helps you focus your efforts and connect with the right people.

Your workspace can be a goldmine for networking. Engage with fellow members, co-workers, or even attendees of industry events held at your location. Remember, networking is a two-way street. Offer support and share your knowledge to build strong relationships.
