Professional networking is the strategic cultivation of mutually beneficial relationships with individuals in your field or related industries. It goes beyond simply exchanging business cards; it's about building trust and rapport through consistent interaction and exchange of knowledge.

The core objective is to create a network of contacts who can provide support, guidance, and opportunities throughout your career journey. This network can be a source of:

Job opportunities: Often, positions are filled through referrals, and a strong network increases your chances of being recommended for suitable roles.

Industry insights: By connecting with experienced professionals, you gain valuable knowledge about current trends, challenges, and best practices in your field.

Mentorship: Seasoned professionals can offer invaluable guidance on career development, skill-building, and navigating workplace dynamics.

Collaboration: Networking fosters connections that can lead to fruitful collaborations on projects, expanding your skillset and reach.
Professional networking encompasses various activities:

Attending industry events: Conferences, workshops, and meetups provide excellent platforms to connect with peers and potential collaborators.

Joining professional organizations: Associations offer networking opportunities, educational resources, and access to industry leaders.

Leveraging online platforms: Professional networking sites like LinkedIn allow you to connect with colleagues and showcase your expertise.

Building relationships with colleagues: Maintaining positive relationships with current and past colleagues strengthens your network within your existing professional sphere.

Effective networking requires a genuine interest in others, active listening, and the ability to build rapport.  Remember, it's a two-way street; aim to provide value to your network by offering support, sharing knowledge, and making meaningful connections.

From Two Sales to Bestseller: UK Author Goes Viral
When English author Vicky Ball sold two of her books at an event in December, she was delighted.

She shared the news on X, and said she was pleased because at some previous events she had not sold any books at all.

But she's now sold many more copies than that, after her post went viral and was seen millions of times by people around the world.

Her first novel, called Powerless, quickly climbed up Amazon's bestseller lists in the teen and young adult categories.

Ball, who is 48, told The Guardian that it was "amazing" to hear from people around the world who had bought her books.

Her second novel — Abandoned — has also been doing well on Amazon, and has gotten good reviews from customers.

Like so many authors, Ball had to fit in her writing around her work and family life.

She wrote her first book during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. She was working as a teacher at that time, so she spent weekends writing with her laptop on her knees.

Now Ball works at a university, and she's also studying writing in her free time.

She also said she's gotten lots of support from other writers on social media.

Asked by The Guardian if she had advice for other authors she said: "Just write!"

She said she begins writing before she has planned all of her story. "It's like a journey," she said. "You never know where it's going to go."

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

昨日は大寒波！について話しました。
何それ？初めて聞いた！という方は189のPodcastを聞いてください。

今日は走りたいけど走れない！について話します。
今、日本ではとても寒い日が続いています。

北海道も雪が降るので、雪がよく積もります。
雪が積もると、いろんな問題があります。
僕にとって、その1つは、ランニングすることが難しくなることです。雪が積もっていると走りにくいです。走ろうと思えば走れます。ですが、結構大変です。滑らないように気にするので、足元を見ながら走ることが多くなります。それから、あまり速いスピードで走れません。それから、めちゃくちゃ寒いです。今日、ここ千歳は-13℃です。

そんな感じで、走りにくい問題がいくつもあります。
それで、大阪から帰ってきて、まだ1度も走れていません。
これはこれで結構ストレスになります。
何か解決策が必要です。

ということで、次のPodcastでは、その解決策について話そうと思います。

みなさんはどんな運動をしていますか？
ぜひそんな話をしましょう！

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
ではまた！
