Four Groups Every Network Needs

00:29:23 — Four Groups Every Network Needs

Annie outlines a framework for intentional networking built around four relationship groups. People to guide — those you provide leadership to, which forces clarity on how to do things. People to align with — those you look to for leadership and direction. People to partner with — your peers and equals for collaboration. And your broader network — people with shared values who contribute to a cultural context. She emphasizes that this isn’t about having 500 LinkedIn connections, but investing in a handful of perhaps 10 meaningful relationships from meetups, professors, or classmates.
