Networking Thursdays - Volume 41

This week I am adding a post from Seville, Spain.

The topics for this week's post are taking chances, performing well, and patience. Last week I hoped that someone in my network would have a contact teaching here in Seville.  I saw several people reach out to their networks to try and help (Thank you for trying!) but I wasn't able to make any professional connections here outside of some people in the local craft beer industry.

Even though I didn't get any good news about giving a workshop here I did get a message from a friend in Istanbul while I was waiting to board my train in Madrid.  If you remember from Volume 4, I bought a cheap ticket to Istanbul and someone in my network connected me to a professor there.  I spoke to her students and also gave a talk at another university through one of her friends. 

In the message she invited me to come back to Istanbul to give a talk next March.  I really enjoyed my visit to Turkey last year and was happy that the new relationship led to me writing an article for the IATEFL blog.  

Taking a chance paid off when Anne introduced me to Aysegul, then it was up to me to deliver a strong session and make a good first impression.  I hoped that I would be invited back and even though it took a year, I'm happy that my new friends thought of me and extended the invitation.

I've never been to Spain before. I've actually had plans of travelling around the world in the future. I always dreamt of traveling to different places after I've graduated. You're surely enjoying your time from moving from one country to another. I really envy your life and wish that I could live a similar one like yours as well. Keep safe and always be aware of your surroundings when travelling, good luck!

    Here are some short ideas that probably don't deserve to be published but I felt were worth sharing.
