I told myself that I wasn’t good at networking. I told myself that networking is meant for extrovert. I told myself perhaps when I am more successful, I can network more effectively. Basically, these are excuses. I am concerned about what to say or what to do. I am concerned about being alone. I am concerned about being odd. Recently I had the privilege of attending the NUS CDE Alumni Relation Events, connecting with fellow alumni and faculty. Amidst the enriching discussions and networking, I couldn’t help but reflect on my own journey. How was it that I am now much better at networking? I just go to such event without any agenda (stress reliever) I just go to such event with an open mind to meet people (curiosity) I just go to such event to have a conversation (just a simple human-human talk) In the end, surprisingly, I had name cards of 3 distinguished Professional Engineer, doing well in their own field. It started as simple genuine questions: “How did you get to know of this event?” “How many times have you attended such events?” “What are you working on?” From there, it spirals into different conversations. Just keep it simple. Does anyone has any other networking tips to share? #networking #NUS #begenuine #noagenda

The final day of my The Royal Society #PairingScheme24 was spent shadowing Chi Onwurah MP. Part of my reason for applying to the scheme was to find out how best to share the findings from my research with policy makers, including MPs. Spending the day talking to Chi and her team about the huge amoutn of information they get sent and the calls on Chi’s time was really valuable for this. It reinforced the need for brevity and to consider any policy implications of any recommendations we might make. As part of her day, Chi visited a number of ‘drop-ins’ which were organised by external organisations. After Prime Minister Questions we visited 5 different drop-ins in the space of less than 1 hour.  There were more events that she had been invited to, but chosen not to attend. I was surprised by how quickly Chi moved between the different venues, and also how focussed she was when she was finding out about each of the events. Almost the first question she (and other MPs I spotted) asked was whether there was anyone there from their constituency or their region present to talk to. Cunningly, one of the events (#Fight4Pharmacies campaign) did appear to have a number of pharmacists from around the country, possibly for this very reason! Follow up questions from Chi then tended to focus on the implications for the region, or her brief – Science, Innovation and Technology. It was clear that having a short series of talking points was really key – each speaker had only a few minutes to talk about their event and its relevance for each MP. My key takeaways from the day are that it’s vital to be really clear about my research and policy implications, and that, if I can, to relate it to MPs constituency or parliamentary interests. It's been a packed few days, and I'm really greatful to the team at The Royal Society for their hard work to create such an amazing programme for the 30 scientists. I would definitely recommend any interested scientists to apply next year for #PairingScheme25. Northumbria University #Policy #STEM

In this article Anthony Seaton discusses the advice they were given as a registrar on giving lectures: keep it short and keep it simple. "Most of the audience will learn something new and if they don’t they will just feel smug that they knew it already, so they’ll all be happy." Read more: https://lnkd.in/eFc7__M9
