What did I miss - what are your top networking tips?

The Result? Being that person who helps or offers value, you build trust & strengthen your relationships. This naturally leads to others advocating for you, even without direct requests. The best part? When you eventually do need support, you'll find a network eager to assist!

Stop networking like it's your first day on the job.

@FinancialUAE Omg that’s the cutest ever! 😍

As Facebook is down I’ll have to share kitten pictures here. Little Ivy earlier today, sat all folded on a rug. 😻

240 participants attended the workshop “Understanding Business Setup in the #UAE” hosted by @UN_Women & @NAMAWomen. The workshop explained to participating #women entrepreneurs different licensing options available, based on business models.

@FinancialUAE 😂

In recent years, I usually only know of an event taking place in the evening due to the number of tickets people are trying to sell on across social media. Jack Whitehall this week then...

@DubaiWriter and @JenBlandos on why recent #retail closures will hit #female #business owners hard arabianbusiness.com/comment/457233…

When the big businesses fail, it's the small, female-owned businesses that hurt the most. arabianbusiness.com/comment/457233…

@FinancialUAE Couldn’t agree more. If you don’t have anything nice to say, scroll on.

If it wasn’t needed for work I would come off social media. It brings out the worst in people.

@HamdanMohammed How about training institutes? Training institutes are being asked to pay 15K to renew KHDA permits but they’ve been forced to close for months. Not even options for institutes to pay in instalments. I know of many who are having to close because of this.

We also approved an initiative to waive penalties for private schools and allow the free renewal of their commercial and educational licenses until the end of December.

@Annedubai Congratulations @Annedubai

Very excited to be part of this exciting new group as a proud virtual agency!

@easyJet please ask Liam from your press office to contact me ASAP - he has my number - my bag is not in Dubai as promised. It has been returned to Gatwick.

So this world traveller had her bag lost by @easyJet last week not sure how hard it is to return a bag to a girl in Dubai! So far it's been to Gatwick, Thessaloniki, Athens, Beirut &now Paris. @easyjet any chance you can ask a grownup to send it to DUBAI?At least Greece was nice!

Ugh @KelloggsUS @KelloggsUK last time I checked it was 2018. “Enjoy cooking with mum” - who comes up with that on a cereal box?! #sexist #outdated

The 2018 #TrustBarometer is out again. Trust in governments and social media companies is at an all time low. It'll make interesting reading for the next couple of days. twitter.com/richardwedelma…
