Singapore Exchange ~

People higher up in their careers also seek a mentee figure in life.
You reaching out to someone isn’t always a one-sided request; it also serves them a sense of purpose beyond work.

McKinsey & Co. ~

Networking doesn’t always have to be intentional or planned.
Chance encounters are a possibility if you try being present and open to the ‘you-never-know’ opportunities.

Video Chat >>> Phone Calls

Seeing expressions and hearing voices build deeper connections.
Not only do conversations become richer, but they also tend to linger longer in people’s minds.

Goldman Sachs ~

Following-up matters more than the initial connection.
Momentum is key. Keep the conversations going, check in, share stuff that matters—it’s about showing you’re invested, that you give a damn.
