We hope that everyone who signs up to participate will be responsive and give their time. However, if you find this is not the case we make matches monthly and we urge you to sign up for the next month of matches!
During your initial meeting, we recommend that you bring up with your THRIVE Match the possibility of continuing the relationship past your initial networking meeting. If both members of the relationship agree, you can discuss a cadence to meet (maybe monthly, quarterly, etc.) and the duration. Keep in mind that in today’s environment, networking relationships can be a quick text, a few emails, (virtual) coffee, etc. and does not have to be the traditional one hour a week/month/quarter meeting.
We strongly believe that connections can be made cross-industry or cross-department.
Networking with individuals from another industry or department can provide an unbiased perspective that you can learn from.
Furthermore, there are many skills that are transferrable from one industry to another. Those can be leadership skills, time management, customer service, etc.
We strongly believe that connections can be made cross-industry or cross-department. In fact, someone from a different industry or department can provide invaluable unbiased feedback that can assist on our journey to grow.
If your THRIVE Match is unresponsive, you can apply for our next month of pairings.
Our inaugural pairings will happen the first week of June. After that, our form will stay open and matches will happen monthly – you will receive your match at the beginning of each month.
The amount of time invested is up to you and your THRIVE match! We have many people who meet in a networking capacity who continue meeting monthly or quarterly. There are others who will meet once and just keep in touch via LinkedIn, etc. Please discuss with your THRIVE Match the expectations for communication.
The purpose of networking is to better utilize the experience, knowledge and skills of talented and successful professionals to help advance the careers of less experienced ones. For Women in Travel Thrive, it is about ensuring the future of our role and opportunities in the travel industry. By working together we can help build one another up to grow and overcome the natural hurdles that exist for women in the travel industry that have unfortunately grown considerably as a consequence of the pandemic.
During your first meeting, you will likely spend one hour getting to know your match and learn about their experience and industry background. At the end of your meeting, we advise that you speak to your match about potential cadences to continue the relationship.
