In this episode, Lola talks about her experience with networking and strategies to make networking easier, including:

  • Reframing networking as building community rather than job hunting.
  • The importance of researching events, speakers, and attendees before networking.
  • Finding a "networking buddy" for support and accountability.
  • How to treat networking as a skill to be developed over time.

More about Thriving in Intersectionality Podcast:

 

Welcome to the “Thriving in Intersectionality” podcast. A podcast created to help you learn from professionals in the workplace who have multiple intersectional identities; from ethnic minorities, veterans transitioning into the workforce, individuals with disabilities, parents, and so many more. 

 

Hosted by Lola Adeyemo, who is the CEO of EQI Mindset and the founder of the nonprofit Immigrants in Corporate Inc, her mission is to work with organizations to build more inclusive workplaces.

 

This podcast was built to amplify the voices of leaders and immigrants in the corporate workplace and to give insights and guidance so people can move past their “barriers” and advance in their professional careers.

 

Through interviews and solo episodes, Lola will examine this global world of work. We hope that you can learn a thing or two from our guests, who have a range of experiences and stories to share. Join Lola as we meet new people who are successfully navigating the corporate space.
