Hi, this is my next essay and related to the previous one, but different topic. The maximum number of words of this essay is 300 words. I should answer the following question in this essay:
Relationship building and influence
Tell us about a professional relationship you have built and maintained. In your answer, please address:
·How was the relationship formed, and what made it important?
·What did you contribute to this relationship, and what did you gain?
·How have you sustained or developed this relationship over time?
·How will these skills help you build connections within the Chevening community and beyond?
Please note, anything mentioned inside this bracket [...] will not be shown in the real essay.
Thanks! :)
My colleagues often say that I have incredible networks. They say I'm brave and have the courage to get to know new people, build and maintain relationship. As an entrepreneur, I believe that networking is mandatory and the basic principle of networking is "take and give".
One of the cases is my relationship with CEO of ZZZ, Indonesia's logistic company specializing in frozen stuffs. Initially YYY [my business] was his customers. In 2024, I tried to reach out to him personally since we were in the same WhatsApp group. We've done several collaborations, such as him being a speaker in Leaders Visit, a program in XXX [the school I've been developing] where the final students meet several leaders to strengthen leadership and entrepreneurship mindset. Over time, I learned that he wanted to improve his marketing process so I helped him by introducing him to a trusted marketing agency, and he was very happy about that.
I also formed a relationship with the President of Industrial Engineering Alumni Association, AAA University (AAA). I met her in an alumni event where she presented the progresses and challenges in AAA. Without doubt, I offered her myself to handle a program to solve some challenges. I believe that 'giving' will lead to many good things. Eventually, perhaps she was happy with my work, she connected me with more valuable networks. When XXX tried to solve fresh water problem in the boarding school, she connected us to BBB Foundation that can help with funding and technology. She keeps on helping us through her connection because she is really satisfied how I develop and maintain the relationships.
With my courage, I believe I can build many mutual relationships while studying in the UK. With my 'take and give' principle, I'm confident the relationships will last and give benefits to many people.
