🌟 Why Keeping in Touch with Old Colleagues is a Game-Changer! 🌟
Just had an amazing catch-up with my former CIO earlier today, and it got me thinking about the power of staying connected with past colleagues.
Here’s my own thoughts as to why it’s so important:
Emotional Support: Work friendships provide a sense of belonging and camaraderie. Staying in touch can be a great source of emotional support.
Knowledge Exchange: Tap into the unique insights and industry knowledge of your old teammates. It’s like having a personal think tank!
Collaboration Opportunities: Whether it’s a freelance project or a new business venture, having a positive relationship with former colleagues makes collaboration a breeze.
Mentorship and Guidance: Experienced colleagues can offer invaluable advice and mentorship, helping you navigate your career path with confidence.
Leveraging Past Successes: Successful past collaborations can pave the way for future projects. Keep those connections alive!
Positive References: If you’re in a hiring position, having good relationships with former colleagues can make the process smoother and more rewarding.
Personal Growth: Interacting with former colleagues can challenge your perspectives and inspire new ideas, leading to personal and professional growth.
Boosting Your Reputation: Maintaining good relationships helps you build a positive reputation in your field, opening doors to further opportunities.
In short, investing time in nurturing these connections is totally worth it.
And while, I'm at it, and I am not looking for a change (I adore my job, the peeps, and the culture at my organization is amazing - check out my earlier post if you missed it below), I know many are - a couple more tidbits about why maintaining relationships is also beneficial...
Networking Goldmine: Old colleagues can open doors to new opportunities, job leads, and potential clients. You never know where your career might take you!
Top-Notch References: Need a glowing recommendation? Former colleagues can vouch for your skills and work ethic, giving you a competitive edge in the job market.
Cheers to the power of professional relationships! 🥂
