Example

Jake began networking intentionally after realizing he only reached out to people when he needed something. He committed to one coffee chat or email check-in per week with people in his industry — no agenda, just connection. It felt awkward at first, but eventually became natural. Through those connections, he landed a new role and even started a side project with someone he met. More than anything, it gave him a sense of career momentum and community.
