When you hear someone talk about the benefits of networking, do you groan internally? You are not alone. Most people think they don’t like networking. This is because they’ve been doing it wrong.
When done effectively, “networking” becomes code for “making a new friend,” or “building a reciprocal business relationship.” This simple mindset shift is how we approach networking at Wiederhold and Associates.
70% of people looking for a job find it through networking. Companies typically look to their executive team’s or employees’ connections first, rather than recruiters or online job boards, when
hiring for an open position. With a strong network in place, you find out about new opportunities earlier in the process.
We’ve developed a better way to network by focusing on making a genuine connection, not a one-time, one-sided transaction. Our proven process will teach you a sustainable way to build and
maintain your network.
Our connections are not transactional. We have cultivated a relationship-based network of professionals who look at our introductions as opportunities to connect with like-minded
professionals with whom they can build a genuine business relationship over time. These introductions are not one-off conversations, but rather the beginning of a lasting connection which can evolve into a mutually beneficial friendship
that impacts your career exponentially for years to come.
Throughout your program, you have access to one of the largest healthcare networks in the country with well over 2,000 individuals at the c-suite or vice president level and thousands of other professionals that are in a variety of other positions. Not in healthcare? No problem. We can create a custom program for you.

The Wiederhold Intentional Network (WIN) takes networking from the typical shotgun to the rifle approach. The keyword to successful networking is intentional. The WIN creates a focused network approach that provides a structure that helps you create initial key connecting points with your contact.
To join you must complete this survey to capture information in these areas, which is the foundation to purposeful networking:
The information from the survey will be utilized to more accurately enhance the results of our matching up these networking encounters.
We will track this activity closely and will limit no more than three individuals reaching out to you in a 30-day period. You can of course increase those introductions if you wish to. You also have the opportunity to be introduced to three individuals each month.
We are aware of your time and effort in this and will also monitor those individuals that we set up and do not make the connection because of no effort on their side. These individuals will be eliminated from participation since they distract from the outcomes that a program like this needs.
Jack is looking for a connection in Houston, Texas. We would like to connect Jack with somebody at Memorial Hermann Health System. He prefers that they be at his level or higher. With those parameters we can narrow the search down to a few selections that meet the criteria and give this encounter more meaning right from the get go.
We then reach out to the individuals chosen and alert them to the fact that Jack will be calling them within the next couple of weeks. We make a short introduction from Jack so that these individuals have some idea of his background and information he is seeking.
Jack then makes the call and connects with these individuals. Once the connection is complete and if Jack happens to be a client of ours, we will send a very short anonymous feedback survey to the individuals with whom he connected. This critical anonymous feedback will help us help Jack become a much better network or/connector.
It is free to join the WIN, but acceptance into the program is at Wiederhold & Associates discretion. Once you are a member, you are expected to respond to any introduction made to you in a timely manner.

The Wiederhold Intentional Network (WIN) is a voluntary collection of healthcare executives that have agreed to support colleagues in transition. Many of these individuals have been in transition in the past. This helped to build contacts beyond my personal reach. It was highly effective. …I found the WIN network to help me re-build my own respect for my abilities and accomplishments.
From my first phone call with Jim Wiederhold through the final job offer I can’t overstate how helpful it was to have a team of experts assisting me through the process. The coaching to help develop and polish my networking and interview skills helped build my confidence. The network introductions helped me gain insight into specific opportunities and walk into the interview process with confidence. I would highly recommend Wiederhold and Associates to any healthcare executive looking to distinguish themselves in a sea of applicants.
Wiederhold & Associates, is and will continue to be a world class professional outplacement organization. The breadth and depth of its network, its powerful learning tools, and outstanding networking techniques really make the difference for executives in transition facing a challenging job market. I also thank you for the opportunity of building good relationships with many outstanding individuals in my profession. I am a much better healthcare executive for it.
One of the most impressive attributes of W&A is its extensive member network. When exploring an opportunity, invariably there is a network member willing to offer valuable information on key organization members, company culture, the surrounding community, etc. so that you come to understand the opportunity as a panorama and not just through the porthole of a recruiter or the company’s Human Resources department. When wanting to select an opportunity and ensure organizational fit, this is a difference maker.
wiederhold@wiederholdassoc.com and someone on our team will get with you as soon as possible.
The world we live in now is much different than it was 10 years ago. You can no longer approach transition the way you did in the past, it is now highly competitive and you need to take your career to the next level. Transition has become a science, not a mindless process utilizing old and outdated methods.
