The Kindness Networking Challenge - are you in?

Has it been a while since you remembered your favourite work-life friends from the past?

This five day challenge will re-awaken your network - in ways that the remainder of your career needs.

Dates: Mon 2nd - Fri 6th Nov

Join this free challenge and reconnect with some of your favourite people from your past in less than 10 minutes per day.

Is career longevity on your mind?

Two ideas to consider:

Most people I speak to, in their 40s and 50s, want to enjoy work well into their 60s.

But if the current trends prevail (ageism in recruitment, age-bias in selection algorithms and AI decision-making about hiring) working into our 60s seems less possible.

75% of all senior roles never get advertised publicly.

Which means that 75% of roles are secured via personal contacts.

NOT via personal contacts they don’t remember, dislike or don’t get on with.

New roles are found via recommendations from personal contacts they like, rate, respect and keep in touch with, kindly.

I know, you’re busy. And maybe you have strong feelings about traditional networking? Me too…

“Networking”

An awful word. Makes me itchy just thinking about it. We’re not talking about expanding your “LinkedIn contacts”.

We’re talking about caring about a small-but-mighty group of folks from your past. In speedy ways - that don’t make you itchy.

“Kindness”

We’re not talking about “reaching out” when you need something…like a job! Not “making contact” with someone you can use in future.

We’re talking about remembering people, when we don’t need anything at all. Just showing you care, as a kind human.

“I used to hate 'networking' but this...this I want to do."
“I'm introverted so traditional networking used to freak me out. Lucia's method is light and easy.”
“I door opened for me that I had never imagined would exist for me - because of a kindness droplet."
“Once you start, you can't stop.”

Here’s how the Kindness Networking Challenge works

Each day you receive a short video via email, sharing one tiny suggestion of someone from your past to remember. And I’ll also give you a simple suggestion to make it easier.
Choose your person.
Deliver your little kindness message in a way that feels right for you.

Carry on with your busy day. With a tiny jolt of joy created from deliberately doing something kind, remembering someone special and taking one step closer to having a small and mighty group of forever work-life friends.

“Lucia taught me her way of networking ten years ago and I've never applied for a job since."
“This kind of networking takes no time, is fun and makes me feel good.”
“I moved countries, set up a business and used this way of networking to find my people."
“Feels weird at the beginning, because the old way of networking is so painful. But what a refreshing way to do business."

Hey there, I’m Lucia Knight

After 19 years in recruitment and head-hunting, I retrained as an occupational psychologist age 43. That was ten years ago.

My research and training specialism is the design of deeply satisfying work - as we age.

In life beyond work, I’m fortunate to have two teenagers, a husband and elderly-parents. I love to swim, ideally there’s a sauna too. I’m a podcast addict, walk the hills of Surrey and I’m always experimenting learning new things - recently Nordic walking and wood-turning.

I support grief charities and love nothing more than a big conversation over a glass of Albarino. And my hair has a life of its own and refuses to be controlled. (You’ve been warned.)

“I got approached for a new role I would never have applied for because I had only done 30% of what they said they needed."
“Not entirely comfortable in the beginning - we're so used to people wanting something from us. But so refreshing. "
"I've been spoken to about more jobs in the year since doing this kind of networking than in the previous 5 years."
"Now I'm in the habit of it, it takes no time and brings me so much connection. I'm never stopping. "
