He pointed out that connecting and building relationships with industry influencers is essential to growing a successful career, which is why he encourages his team members to attend such events as frequently as possible.

“To ensure that Upper Echelon, Inc.’s associates gain as much as possible from their networking efforts, I encourage them not to go overboard,” Nick stated. “I certainly don’t want them thinking it’s a matter of exchanging handfuls of business cards. It’s much more prudent to focus on bonding with two or so people throughout the duration of a conference. That way, they have more time to invest in building rapport and making themselves memorable.”

Nick explained that he and his fellow leaders at Upper Echelon, Inc. are highly invested in making sure their team benefits from attending conferences and other industry gatherings. Before each event even begins, the associates and managers meet and review the function’s agenda. Together, they identify which sessions and workshops are most likely to offer takeaways that can be applied directly to the firm’s operations.

“First, we make a general game plan,” Nick continued. “Being prepared this way prevents a great deal of scrambling and last-minute decision making during the event. We don’t stop there, however. We also create backup plans. If a given session doesn’t seem to resonate with our team members, they can simply resort to the next best option.”

“I do impose another rule on my team when conference time rolls around,” Nick concluded. “Anyone who goes must commit to having fun. Enjoying their time together and exploring new surroundings adds extra meaning to the overall experience. It makes the other relationships they build and the lessons they learn even more memorable.”
