The Power of Connection: Networking, Social Media & Authentic Relationships |The Perky Pod | PD Ep.4

In Episode 4 of The Perky Pod (my Professional Development Portfolio), I unpack the power of connection - why networking matters, what authentic collaboration looks like, and how social media can create real opportunities when you lead with values. I reflect on building genuine relationships rather than transactional networking, how mentors and lecturers have shaped my growth, and how community through church and uni has helped me develop professionally and personally. I also share a key story: how one post online unexpectedly led to a major media opportunity and what that taught me about consistency, clarity, and putting yourself out there without losing who you are. In this episode: Why connection matters (friendships, business, growth) Authentic networking vs performative networking How I try to show up online: professional and personal Social media as a tool: Instagram, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube/Spotify Consistency, comparison, and staying grounded in values Collaboration, leadership, and letting people play to strengths Clear communication, follow-ups, and building trust long-term If you’ve listened, I’d genuinely love feedback and topic ideas for future episodes.
