THE MAIN THEME: WHO DO I GO WITH? 

TITLE: NETWORKING EFFECTIVELY

The quote for today’s devotional is:
 "It’s not what you know, but who you know—and who knows you." – Harvey Mackay

Devotional:
Networking isn’t just about collecting business cards or gaining contacts; it’s about building meaningful relationships that can open doors to opportunities, knowledge, and growth. Effective networking means connecting with people authentically, sharing mutual value, and cultivating trust. It’s a skill that can shape your future and help you achieve your goals.

Consider Oprah Winfrey, a global icon who is known not only for her talent but also for her ability to connect deeply with others. Through meaningful relationships and collaborations, she expanded her influence and created impactful opportunities for herself and others. Oprah’s journey underscores the importance of genuine connections in achieving success.

Effective networking involves more than surface-level interactions; it requires active listening, a willingness to help others, and consistent follow-up. Whether it’s in your school, workplace, or community, networking is a two-way street. By offering support and being open to learning, you create a network of allies who can help you navigate challenges and celebrate victories.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What steps can I take to build authentic connections in my personal or professional life?
2. How can I add value to the relationships within my network?
3. Are there opportunities to connect with people who inspire or challenge me?
4. How can I maintain and nurture my current relationships effectively?

Let us pray:

Lord, thank You for the connections You bring into my life. Teach me to network with integrity and build meaningful relationships that align with my purpose. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them:

• I network effectively by building genuine and meaningful connections.
• I bring value to my relationships and create opportunities for mutual growth and success.

Go do some effective networking today. Take good care of yourself and I’ll see you tomorrow!
