"Assess your networks as you assess your skills and competencies, and grow in the direction you want to be." – @HerminiaIbarra responds to the concept of culling networks #AHRINC
How to broaden yr network: make use of internal projects; invest in extra-curricular activities; create yr own community of interest; don’t just attend events – speak, chair, organise; introduce, connect and refer in all directions – @HerminiaIbarra#AHRINC

How to end your work day well: 1. Write a to-done list 2. Park on a downhill slope (start something & leave it unfinished for an easy win the next morning) 3. Last thing before shutting down, send a thank you email to a supplier / client / colleague etc - @amantha#AHRINC
