Are you working hard -- but waiting to be tapped on the shoulder for your next opportunity?Whether you've been overlooked for promotion, aren't getting the recognition you deserve or know you need to grow your network more strategically, this episode is for you.Today’s podcast was inspired by a question I was asked during a recent panel discussion on building a personal brand.The question was: “What types of people should you be connecting with for your own professional development?”And as it turns out, I have a lot to say on this topic!Because what I've noticed amongst the high-achievers I work with is that many don't develop their network intentionally or consistently. Instead, they wait until they're looking for a new job, promotion or client.But this approach is reactive -- and by this stage, it's too late.
