As part of our AMA series earlier in the year, we recorded a session with Daniel Geey (Partner, Sheridans) and Cynthia Mumbo (Founder & CEO, Sports Connect Africa) on how to develop your sports and legal network.

This session was designed to help people develop the human skills (Simon Sinek), which are often mistakenly referred to as "soft skills".

The topics which were covered were:

What are the basics of networking
Approaching networking in a natural and organic way to build meaningful relationship that lasts over time;
Networking remotely via
Email
Social networking
Online Events
In-person networking at events
Social events
Conferences
Seminars
Finding the right community
Contacting someone you think is unreachable such as executives, thought leaders, athletes, etc
Breaking through perceived and real closed communities
Networking with other lawyers
Networking with sports professionals and athletes/players
Things to do and not to do

We thoroughly enjoyed the interview and took a lot away from it. We hope you do the same.
The host is Sean Cottrell (@spcott), founder and CEO of LawInSport.
