Networking Is A Two-Way Street!

We’ve all seen it: a colleague facing a career crossroads reaches out to every connection they’ve built — asking for introductions, advice, or simply a listening ear. Many of us respond, because we understand the stakes. The fear of unemployment or being in a role that no longer fits is real.

But then they land. The pressure lifts. And when others reach out to them for support, the response is… silence.

In today’s climate, where so many talented A/E/C executives are exploring new opportunities, navigating leadership transitions, or rethinking their next chapter, let’s remember that networking is a two-way street.

✅ If someone helped you during your search, be the person who helps them now.
✅ If you’re in a stable role, take a moment to respond to those reaching out.
✅ If you’re navigating change, lean on your network — but also nurture it.

The consulting engineering sector thrives on collaboration, trust, and long-term partnerships. Let’s extend that same spirit to how we support one another professionally.

We rise by lifting each other — not just when we need help, but when others do.
