S2: E7 - Diversifying Your Social Portfolio

Leading with Purpose Podcast

In this episode I talk about networks, specifically the value of your network, which is your social capital.

I discuss an article I wrote on idealist careers titled “Networking While Remote| What Professionals of Color Need to do to Stay Connected and Leverage Relationships for Success” where I examine the lack of access we have as people of color in building the right relationships that are valuable and can be a catalyst to our careers success.

We also do a deep dive into exactly what social capital is, getting a return on your investment in networks, and the value of the relationships you have versus the number of people you know.

Share your thoughts on social capital. Have you ever considered the value of your network or the value of the time you invest in them? What kinds of professional relationships to do have? Are they trusting? Do they provide the resources you need to grow professionally?
