Give-First Networking

Meeting or helping one person per week who is one level above you — building a network through value, not requests.

Why this habit matters

  • Career: Creates a relationship network that generates opportunities without transactional outreach.
  • Social: Develops genuine relationships with high-calibre people through demonstrated value rather than status-seeking.
  • Mental health: Shifts identity from scarcity-based networking anxiety to abundance-based generosity.
