Regular Check-ins Once you have established a support network, make it a point to have regular check-ins. Whether it’s a monthly meeting with your mentor or a quarterly call with your advisory board, consistent interaction ensures that the relationship remains strong.
Be Open and Honest Transparency is key when leveraging your support network. Be open about your challenges and honest about your needs. This will allow your network to provide the most relevant and effective advice.
Reciprocate Support networks are a two-way street. Be prepared to offer your own advice and support when needed. This reciprocity strengthens the relationship and makes the network more effective.
