One of the ideas I used to teach my students was to reframe networking. Instead of thinking about it as asking for something, I encouraged them to view it as an ongoing practice of generosity. I have them read this article: Shenoy (2019)Why generosity is the key to effective networking
Hi Rebecca! I remember "networking as generosity" in one of your courses. I love this framing. Honestly, when substack writers ask for feedback I try to respond and I clicked and starting responding without connecting that this was YOUR substack!
My questionnaire responses were quick and not deeply thoughtful to be honest so if there's more insight I might offer, just tell me and I'm happy to share. Many times I think about publishing small guides. Just finished an outline for one like this, this morning, curriculum design for high school seniors learning about food security issues related to climate change and disruption (unrest, war, etc). For me getting started and pacing my writing projects is tough. If I can't complete something in one day, weekend, it's much harder for me to manage it.
So nice to hear from you! Thank you for sharing your insights. If I get enough, I'll share the results on my blog. I hope it helps me find a focus for some tutorials.
Great! I hope so too. When I think about paying for workshops, and I do pay for workshops at times, I look at things like long term application to different projects, can I use this in several aspects of my work including teaching, and learning design?
Also, takeaways are always a selling point for me. A guide, nothing extensive more of a PDF overview, that I can use that reminds me of what was covered the learning session/workshop and how to apply it in a variety of situations.
