Yes, I believe it will if you know how to network and you do network. Understanding and leveraging your network may be one of your most powerful tools to accelerate your search.
First the power and generosity of your network is amazing, second the reach of your network extensive.
Networking allows you to connect with people.
When you network, you have the potential connect and build relationships with people. The energy generated from connecting and sharing with people can be a simple spark or a flow of energy. The spark can be an idea, tip, or a trigger for you. The flow of energy can be an exchange of information lasting minutes, days or years.
The energy exists, just walk into a room. The energy only becomes power if you are open to it.
Much like a small appliance plugged into an outlet with the switch off, the energy is flowing however the power of the energy is not available to run the appliance because the switch in the off. When you attend an event or network, you put yourself in a place where the energy is, you plug-in. If you want to connect to the power of the energy your next step is turn the switch, to be open to the flow of energy.
If you are new to networking or uncomfortable with networking, show up. By being at an event in person, allows you to be available to plug-in to the energy and power.
I have connected to some amazing opportunities just by showing up and being open to the energy in a room. I am a planner and I go into all situations with a plan. Some of my plans are detailed and complex and some are very simple. Sometimes my networking plan for an event is as simple as showing up and being open.
You too, may be drawn into a power and generosity of your network. The flow of energy allows you to experience the compassion, generosity, personality, and the knowledge of others. When you are open and available those connections allow you to directly or indirectly connect to and have the opportunity to identify people whose values are similar to your own, and who have contacts are within organizations that are meaningful to your goals.
