In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, Aimee is sharing simple but powerful tips to help you build and leverage your professional network with ease.
Every single day I see many of my clients missing some of the biggest opportunities they have by not leveraging their professional networks. Not doing that means they’re leaving powerful connections and untapped resources on the table.

• Ask for help from your network
• Six Degrees of the Health and Safety professional

Quotes from this episode
“You can't network online without actually connecting with people. And it's more than that. It's about connecting with people authentically, even when you don't need something from them.”
“Too many health and safety practitioners think that they don't have time to nurture their professional network...[But] I want you to know that building an engaged professional network doesn't have to take all day.”
“Everyone has times and places where they feel like they might be looking stupid or they might feel embarrassed. Or they have that impostor syndrome. You are not alone in that.”
