Ten benefits of business networking
You may be wondering what all the fuss is about - why should we all be networking? Glenda Stone, CEO of Aurora, has defined her top ten reasons to get out there and circulate. We think you'll find them pretty convincing…

1. MENTORING
To find someone who can help you identify your strengths and address your weaknesses
 
2. CONTACTS
To meet new people who can help you get to where you want to be
 
3. KNOWLEDGE
To learn new information that adds value to what you already know
 
4. GROWTH
To develop your self-confidence through meeting different people
 
5. EXPANSION
To demonstrate your potential and discover career opportunities
 
6. SUPPORT
To provide mutual support to women in similar roles
 
7. DEVELOP
To hone your communication and social skills
 
8. SELF-PROMOTE
To enhance your career prospects by making yourself seen and heard by the right people
 
9. SHOWCASE
To be a great ambassador for your company and yourself
 
10. CONTRIBUTE
To take part in the debate - attending a women's network is a great step towards addressing gender imbalances in your workplace


Glenda Stone is CEO of Aurora, an organisation that helps companies attract, retain and advance women. Glenda also set up the Aurora Women's Network (see www.auroravoice.com).
Last summer, she launched an online information exchange, called "Where women want to work" (www.www2wk.com), through which women rate their firms on their approach to women staff
