Here are some ideas on how to build relationships with your audience one-on-one:
- Connect with one new person per week. Take them out to lunch, email them, or set up a phone call.
- Focus on the select few who seem more supportive.
- Connect to a colleague and thank them for how their work inspired you.
- Interview those who do what you would love to do. Then share the interview to promote them and become aligned with them publicly.
