Connections Canvas
Map → Prioritise → Reach out. A clear, low-pressure way to activate relationships and create opportunity.
Overview
Most career moves come through people. But "use your network" is vague advice unless you've got a simple structure. This toolkit helps you map the relationships that matter, see what's missing, and plan the next five conversations that will actually move things.
Curriculum
- Map: Build a clear picture of your current network (support, opportunity, learning)
- Prioritise: Identify the 5–10 connections that will make the biggest difference right now
- Reach out: Use simple outreach prompts to start real, human conversations
Who This Is For
- Freelancers who rely on referrals and repeat work
- In-house leaders exploring a role shift or next chapter
- Anyone who feels isolated or stuck doing it alone
What You'll Achieve
- You can see your network as a practical system, not a vague idea
- You can prioritise relationships without guilt or overwhelm
- You can reach out in a way that is human, clear, and not sales-led
What You'll Walk Away With
- A completed Connections Canvas
- Your "Top 10" list for the next 90 days
- 5 outreach messages you can send this week
