Networking is as old as speech. For billions of years, people have thrived thanks to their exchanges of knowledge, resources, and opportunities. Communities emerge from webs of value exchange. Networking has the greatest value when our world is unpredictable. The heart of networking is the accidental conversation where we allow ourselves enough freedom in our connectivity to surprise each other with knowledge, resources, and opportunities. The power of accidental conversations is based on the fact that we are most likely to discover unpredictable possibilities in unpredictable conversations. Networking is a social contract. It based on a mutual intention for mutual value. Networking doesn't happen or yields low returns when any participant's intention is for unilateral value. We all have all the core competencies required for networking. We know how to talk about ourselves, ask people about themselves, offer and ask for help, ask for favors and return favors.
