Reach Out to People Whom You Haven’t Been in Touch With Recently
While your close friends and family are important, research suggests that “weak ties,” or people who are more acquaintance-level connections, are the ones who can actually help you out the most in terms of developing new contacts, improving career prospects, and generally meeting new people. Set a goal to get in touch with one person you haven’t talked to in awhile per week, and you’ll find your personal and professional networks growing faster than ever before.
