Hey, LinkedIn 👋🏾! So, last night, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Miss EmpowHer "Still I Rise: Women Empowering Women" networking event! It was a great way to start the year, meet new people, and reconnect with some familiar faces. The entire event emphasized the importance of #personalfinance and authentic #networking as young women begin to navigate their careers. Here are some key takeaways: 📌 Asking is a muscle! Don't be afraid to exercise it! 📌 Great relationship building is built on reciprocity! Always be willing to provide guidance, time, or a simple favor. 📌 Lead a conversation with shared interests! Everything doesn't need to be rooted in corporate jargon. You have a personality, so show it! 📌 When investing, be opportunistic about money you wouldn't mind losing. 📌 Get clear on what you want and ask for it! 📌 Networking doesn't end with a LinkedIn connection! Check in and maintain the connection. A special thank you to Caitlyn Kumi and Briana S. for organizing such a fantastic event! Thank you to the extraordinary panelists for your excellent words of wisdom: Amanda Agyapong, Thamina Stoll, Shelly Lombard, Allie Joy Tsahey, Mira Bharatiya, Katie Kirsch, and Lestraundra A. ✨ #nyc #networking #earlycareer #investing
