About this listen
In this episode, Gabriella Borrero breaks down the real do’s and don’ts of networking — because connecting shouldn’t feel transactional or forced. Gabby shares how to approach networking with heart, intention, and strategy so you can build relationships that actually lead to collaboration, growth, and impact.
She covers what most people get wrong (like sending generic follow-ups or adding people to your list without permission) and what to do instead to stand out, stay genuine, and create meaningful connections.
Whether you’re meeting people in person, online, or inside a community like the Next Generation Network (NGN), this episode will shift the way you show up in every conversation.
Treat everyone you meet like a human, not a lead.
Build relationships before pitching or asking for anything.
Ask more questions — curiosity builds trust.
Stay visible and supportive on social media.
Always add value before asking for it.
Never add someone to your email list without consent.
Personalize your follow-up — make it memorable.
Networking is about partnership, not popularity.
Be intentional — your energy sets the tone for every connection.
