Recently, Women’s Jewelry Association [WJA] held, Networking & Career Development through WJA Virtual Panel. “It was a fun; insightful session packed with actionable advice you can put into practice right away” said, WJA.
Here are 5 key takeaways,
1: Authenticity is everything. Networking works best when you lead with curiosity and sincerity. Be intentional about showing up as yourself—not who you think someone wants you to be. As Susan Collins shared, “People can feel when you’re authentic, and that’s what makes them want to stay connected.”
2: Your professional essence matters more than your title. Theresa Fuchs-Santiago reminded us that how you consistently show up—your values, energy, and reputation—will define the opportunities that come your way far more than a job title ever will.
3: Don’t overlook your internal network. Relationships you nurture within your current team and organization often lead to new opportunities, support, and growth you can’t always see right away.
4: Leverage your secondary network. Some of the most valuable opportunities come from your network’s network—the introductions and connections that happen through someone you already know.
5: Think long-term. Cindy Krupp emphasized that strong networks aren’t built overnight. Give before you ask, offer value, and maintain your relationships even when you’re not actively looking for your next move.
In this insightful discussion, the panel explored how to;
1: Build authentic connections that last,
2: Strengthen both your internal and external networks,
3: Understand and amplify your professional essence,
4: Unlock opportunities through the secondary network &
5: Nurture relationships for the long term.
Whether you’re looking to grow in your current role, build your personal brand, or expand your network, this conversation is full of insights you can apply right away. Stay tuned for our next event on August 20th – a Digital Marketing.
