Bianca Rosado Networking is not working Doug McColgin November 17 2013 01/24/2017 Doug explains how networking is not entirely working when you are only networking within your organization and what the downfall is when only doing it with people like coworkers. He also mentions the benefits of doing it outside of the organization. What I learned through this TED talk was that it is better to get out of your comfort zone and network outside of your circle or organization. To go out and find inspiration through speaking with strangers because you will learn more things that may have not been thought of or done within your normal group and you can adapt what has made the people you are meeting successful to your own situations. In this TED talk Doug is very knowledgeable and wise. He seems like the type of person who loves to learn off other people while learning off of his own experience. I would recommend this talk to coworkers, family and friends. This talk all though short was very valuable and worthwhile to me. I’d very much watch it again because I feel like I can relate to many of the things he mentioned in this video. I seem to sometimes not want to step out of my comfort zone which may sometimes be stunting my ideas and or creativity without myself even knowing it.
