In Week 7, we’re tackling the topic of networking and your network. Two words that sound similar, but are actually very different, when it comes to your career and getting unstuck.In this episode, Ann catches up with Trevor Williams. A seasoned senior executive, owner of TGW Consulting in Singapore, and former COO of Global Markets for Barclays Bank. Trevor has been Ann’s mentor for many years, and their interview hits home-truths with honesty, about the realities and importance of cultivating an authentic network.Trevor gives unique and rich perspective, highlighting the difference between and value of internal and external networks, and he’s honest about the fact he only realised this differentiation later in his career. He admits, that the more senior you get at work, the harder it becomes – in every way, and for him, as an un-natural networker, he’s had to hone his skills to build his network both internally and externally. He details the different types of networking in these two spheres, explains the role and signs of trust and relationship productivity, and stresses that conversations are more important than conferences – when it comes to getting unstuck. Download the transcript for this episode, here: https://bit.ly/2qaJvbJ Here are the research links referenced in this episode: Tim Sanders, quote: https://bit.ly/32W81KK  Lou Adler (2016): https://bit.ly/2poVlyl  Harvard Business Review, Article (2011): https://bit.ly/357KlEQ Jeff Haden, The only networking tips you'll ever need (2015): https://bit.ly/357JTXa And if you would like to connect with Trevor Williams, you can find him on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-williams-66931/If you have a question that you would like answered, or you would like to connect with Ann and Amelia directly, you can email: [email protected] can also join our Career and Coffee community on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/career-and-coffee-podcast/And find us on Instagram for bonus content: instagram.com/podcastcareerandcoffee
