Network Audit

Experiment with an audit of your network:

1. List the names of a few people you’ve discussed important work (or career) matters with over the past 2-3 months. Focus on people who were influential on you.
2. Check off the network type(s) that you see them playing a role in.
3. Select the network role(s) that you recognize them as playing within your network.

Types of Networks

Operational ⚙️

People you depend on to navigate your day-to-day work and get shit done.

This includes your people leader, direct reports, teammates, and key partners.

This network is often determined by your responsibilities rather than personal choice.

Personal 👥

People of close, trusted relationships—including friends, family, and connections.

These are folks you turn to for guidance, support, and personal development.

You control who belongs to this network based on your goals and affinities.

Strategic 🎯

People who might play a role in helping you achieve personal & professional goals.

They can help you plan for the future with key insights, resources, or connections.

Building takes time and effort but it gives you a competitive advantage.
