Making Room at Your Table

Hi All,

If you’ve been with us for awhile you know that we love to talk about creating and developing mutually beneficial networking relationships. Today we are focusing a bit more on that “mutually beneficial” part and discussing why and how you can expand your networking for the benefit of others.

This expansion is critical for the success of younger attorneys as they are looking to grow and expand their networks. An attorney fresh out of law school will have a less expansive and responsive professional network than someone that has been in practice for 10 years.

We still appreciate those that brought us into their network largely for our benefit early on in our careers. Networking events, client meetings, court appearances are just three of a myriad of ways in which we learned, grew, and expanded our professional networks.

This also goes hand in hand with mentorship. A caring mentor is an invaluable resource, and sometimes hard to come by. But having that connection with another person who is interested in guiding and supporting you is incredible.

For those of your further along in your career consider how you can use your network to someone else’s benefit and make room at your table for them. For those of you on the other side, be a gracious guest and thoughtful mentee.

Have a great day!
